At least 15 people were killed in a stampede at a railway station in New Delhi as they were waiting to board a train to attend a Hindu festival. The incident occurred late Saturday, with the bodies being brought to a local hospital. Delhi’s caretaker chief minister Atishi confirmed the number of casualties. Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed his distress over the incident and offered his condolences to the families of the victims. Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw has ordered an investigation to determine the cause of the stampede. This comes after a previous stampede at the Maha Kumbh festival last month resulted in the deaths of at least 30 people. Tens of millions of Hindus had gathered for the festival to take a dip in sacred river waters. The authorities are providing assistance to those affected by the recent tragedy as they work to prevent future incidents of this nature.
