Many people were admitted to the hospital on Saturday as they suffered suffocation due to congestion in platform number 13 and 14 at New Delhi railway station. While Delhi Fire Services said that the “stampede -like” situation broke at the station to injured 15 people, Delhi Police put a stampede.
The footage shared by social media users has shown a sea of crowd on the platform being tried to go to trains for Varanasi via Prayranasi in Uttar Pradesh. According to sources, both trains reached the stage behind their schedule time, causing the incident. Passengers were on their way to Maha Kumbh Mela in prayer.

A passenger who spoke to ABP News said that he has a confirmation ticket for his mother, but the crowd is such that “there is not an inch inch to walk.” The forum has now been vacated and passengers are not being allowed to enter the station, causing inconvenience to those who were traveling to a separate cities.
Railways also denied a stampede, but ABP News correspondent Divyankar Tiwari, who was present in the ground zero, said more than 10 ambulances were present on the spot. Two special trains have been arranged and more trains will be run soon.
