💨 Abstract

A stampede at the Maha Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj resulted in multiple deaths and injuries, but the event was overshadowed by the religious festivities and live coverage of Home Minister Amit Shah's dip in the river. Authorities were criticized for their lack of transparency, as they took hours to announce the casualty figures and refused to allow media access to the hospital.
