“PM Modi spoke to Yogi Ji concerning the scenario on the Kumbh Mela, reviewed the developments, and referred to as for quick help measures,” an official mentioned.
A number of casualties had been feared after a stampede-like scenario broke out at Sangam within the early hours of Wednesday amid the continued Maha Kumbh, as hundreds of thousands of pilgrims turned up for a holy bathtub on Mauni Amavasya, officers mentioned.
In view of the incident, the Akharas referred to as off their conventional ‘Amrit Snan’ for Mauni Amavasya, whilst devotees in giant numbers continued to take a dip at Sangam and different ghats within the Mela space.
