The stampede broke out just a kilometre away from the Triveni Sangam ghat on the auspicious occasion of Mauni Amavasya, when around 10 crore pilgrims are expected to take a holy dip.<\/p>\n

Akharas cancelled their processions and deferred the holy dip after the stampede.<\/p>\n

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath told reporters that some people were “seriously injured” in the incident, adding that the situation is under control.<\/p>\n

He said that the crowd pressure remains, and urged people to take a dip at the nearest ghat and not make way for the Sangam Nose. “The elderly, children and asthma patients need to be extremely cautious and bathe at ghats nearest to them. All are Ganga ghats and all would get the same ‘punya’ (divine blessings) as it is Mauni Amavasya,” he said.<\/p>\n

Union Home Minister Amit Shah, Union Health Minister JP Nadda and Uttar Pradesh Governor Anandiben Patel also called him to take stock of the situation, the CM added.<\/p>\n

The Amrit Snan on Mauni Amavasya is the most significant ritual of the Maha Kumbh. This year, the occasion holds added spiritual importance due to a rare celestial alignment known as ‘Triveni Yog,’ which occurs once every 144 years.<\/p>\n

The Maha Kumbh 2025 has already witnessed over 15 crore pilgrims taking a holy dip in the past 17 days. Over 4.80 crore devotees took the snan on Tuesday alone – even more than that of Amrit Snan’ on Makar Sankranti (3.5 crore), the Uttar Pradesh government said.<\/p>\n

The Maha Kumbh started on January 13 and will continue till February 26.<\/p>\n
