The families of the victims will receive ₹2 lakh each, while the injured will be provided ₹50,000 as financial aid.”

Notably, the stampede occurred at New Delhi Railway Station as passengers were preparing to travel to the Mahakumbh.

As a result, at least 18 people have been reported dead, while several others have sustained injuries.
