First stampede in Maha Kumbh Mela..!? 15 people died?
The first stampede has been recorded in the maha Kumbh mela that the whole world is talking about. Although it was initially called a stampede. According to the latest news, 15 devotees are said to have died, but there is no clarity on this yet. It has been revealed that many people have been injured. The maha Kumbh mela began on the 13th of this month. It will continue till february 26. Usually, in such huge events, there is a risk of a stampede at the beginning or at the end. In contrast, the stampede that took place almost two weeks after the start of the Kumbh mela and resulted in the loss of many lives has become a tragedy. The latest stampede, which did not happen even though 15 crore people took holy baths in the past seventeen days, has taken place. The reason for this is that it is called Mauni Amavasya. Devotees thronged in large numbers with the idea that taking baths at this time would bring good luck. According to preliminary information, the stampede took place after the barricades were broken due to the impact of the devotees who came in lakhs. National media outlets are saying that about fifteen people have died. tv channels are reporting that a doctor has confirmed this.
