Uttar Pradesh minister Sanjay Nishad on Wednesday expressed grief over the stampede in Mahakumbh Nagar and said “minor incidents” do happen in “such a big event”.<\/p>\n
Sanjay Nishad is the chief of the Nishad party and fisheries minister in the Yogi Adityanath government.<\/p>\n
“In such a big event and when there is such a huge crowd, minor incidents do happen,” he said while calling it sad.<\/p>\n
He said Chief Minister Adityanath is looking into this matter. One should take a bath wherever one finds space and one should not believe in rumours, he added.<\/p>\n
Asked about Samajwadi Party chief Akhilesh Yadav’s allegation of mismanagement in Maha Kumbh, he said, he would not want to comment on it.<\/p>\n
“The arrangements that have been made and the crowd that is there will not be anywhere else in the world. Where such big arrangements are made and such a huge crowd gathers, some small incidents take place somewhere or the other,” he said.<\/p>\n
“This incident is sad for us and I want this not to happen in the future. We people and the entire government are alert,” he said.<\/p>\n
The stampede took place in Mahakumbh Nagar in which 30 people died and 60 suffered injuries.<\/p>\n
