A deadly stampede at New Delhi Railway Station claimed 18 lives of pilgrims heading to Kumbh Mela. Factors like overcrowding, delayed trains, and abrupt announcements led to chaos. Railways implemented new crowd control measures after the incident. Questions arise about accountability and whether the tragedy could have been avoided with better planning and management. Eight pilgrims from Kamariya village in Buxar, Bihar took a boat to Prayagraj for the Kumbh Mela, bypassing overcrowded trains and traffic jams. Their 515 km round trip over 5 days cost Rs 20,000. The group's Instagram videos documenting their unique journey went viral, with netizens closely following their progress. #buxartoprayagraj #uniquepilgrimage #biharpilgrims #indianjugaad #pilgrimage #gangariver #indiatoday #delhistampede #kumbhmela #boatjourney #prayagrajkumbh #railwaysafety #newstoday #crowdmanagement #viralvideo #rajdeepsardesai #newstoday Subscribe to India Today for NEW VIDEOS EVERY DAY and make sure to enable Push Notifications so you'll never miss a new video.
