Passengers board an overcrowded train for Prayagraj's Mahakumbh, at the New Delhi railway station, Saturday, Feb. 15, 2025.
In the rush to board what they assumed was their train, a large section of the crowd surged towards Platform 16, triggering a deadly crush.
The tragic stampede at New Delhi railway station on Saturday, which claimed the lives of 18 passengers, including five children, has raised serious concerns about the railways' crowd management during peak travel times.
Pilgrims returning from Mahakumbh stated that while crowd management at the Kumbh venue was efficient, they faced severe overcrowding in the trains.
