Multiple videos have emerged showing crowds pouring over each other at the New Delhi Railway Station before a stampede<\/a> killed at least 18 people and injured dozens on Saturday night. The rush at the station broke out as crowds struggled to board trains for Prayagraj’s Maha Kumbh<\/a>, which has so far attracted more than 50 crore devotees.<\/p>\n

The videos show passengers pushing each other on the platforms to board the trains. Some men were also seen entering the trains through windows.<\/p>\n

The stampede at the NDLS<\/a>, which broke out around 10 pm, was preceded by a swell in the crowd of passengers waiting to board trains for Prayagraj on platform numbers 14 and 15.<\/p>\n

“People were pushing each other,” a man whose mother died in the stampede told reporters.<\/p>\n

Another passenger said the station was “overcrowded”.<\/p>\n

“I was going to Prayagraj but many trains were running late or were cancelled. The station was overcrowded. There were far more people than I have ever seen at this station,” he said.<\/p>\n

What Led To New Delhi Railway Station Stampede<\/strong><\/h3>\n

An official said platform number 14 was very crowded when the Prayagraj Express train was waiting there for its departure. He said two other trains – \u00a0Swatantra Senani Express and Bhubaneshwar Rajdhani Express – \u00a0were delayed and the passengers of these trains were also present on platform numbers 12, 13 and 14.<\/p>\n

“As per CMI (Commercial-cum-Ticket Inspector), every hour 1,500 general tickets were sold by railways due to which the station got overcrowded and became uncontrollable. There was a stampede at platform no 14 and near escalator near platform no 16,” he said.<\/p>\n

President Droupadi Murmu and Prime Minister Narendra Modi have grieved the deaths.<\/p>\n

“Deeply anguished to know about the loss of lives in a stampede at New Delhi Railway station. I extend my heartfelt condolences to the bereaved families and pray for a speedy recovery of those injured,” President Murmu said in a post on X.<\/p>\n

PM Modi said he was “distressed” by the stampede at the New Delhi Railway Station<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“My thoughts are with all those who have lost their loved ones. I pray that the injured have a speedy recovery. The authorities are assisting all those who have been affected by this stampede,” he said.<\/p>\n
