The Maha Kumbh Mela 2025 in Prayagraj has been marked by both significant events and challenges. On January 29, a tragic stampede occurred at the Sangam area, resulting in the deaths of at least 30 individuals and injuries to 60 others. In response, authorities have implemented several measures to enhance safety and manage the massive influx of pilgrims. These include the cancellation of VVIP passes, restrictions on vehicle movements near the main bathing sites, and increased deployment of security personnel. Additionally, a petition has been filed in the Supreme Court seeking a judicial inquiry into the incident and improved crowd management strategies.
Despite these challenges, the festival continues with heightened security and revised protocols to ensure the safety of attendees.
