The Supreme Court on Friday refused to entertain a plea that sought directions to be given to authorities on crowd management, claiming that over 200 people had died in a recent stampede at the New Delhi railway station.<\/p>\n
“Is there any proof that 200 have died?” a bench of Justices B R Gavai and P K Mishra asked the counsel appearing for the petitioner.<\/p>\n
The counsel claimed several videos of the stampede at the railway station were uploaded on X and the Railways has issued notices to the witnesses who were present there. “Those persons can approach the court,” the bench said.<\/p>\n
The bench asked whether the petitioner believed that the concerned authorities were neglecting the issue.<\/p>\n
The counsel said the petition was filed for proper implementation of the National Disaster Management Act and relevant rules for crowd management.<\/p>\n
The bench dismissed the plea and said the petitioner may approach the Delhi High Court with the grievance.<\/p>\n
The counsel said the plea has arrayed all the states and Union Territories as party respondents in the matter.<\/p>\n
On February 19, the Delhi High Court had asked the Railways to examine the fixing of maximum passengers and sale of platform tickets — issues raised in a PIL filed before it over the recent stampede at the New Delhi railway station.<\/p>\n
The high court had asked the authorities concerned to state the details of decisions taken by it on these issues in its affidavit.<\/p>\n
At least 18 people were killed in a stampede on February 15 at the New Delhi Railway Station which witnessed a surge of passengers waiting to board trains for Prayagraj — where the Maha Kumbh was underway.<\/p>\n
