accident took place between 3 platforms.
The accident took place between 3 platforms of the railway station. People were waiting for the train for the Mahakumbh on platform numbers 13, 14, 15 and as soon as the train arrived, a crowd formed among them due to which a stampede broke out. The accident took place at around 9:26 pm. People started gathering at the railway station from 4 pm itself. At around 8:30 am, 3 trains were supposed to arrive for Prayagraj but they arrived late. The crowd kept increasing, the results of which were going to shake the entire country. From the LG to the Prime Minister, everyone expressed grief.

Congress blames Delhi administration
Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge raised questions on Delhi administration and central government. Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge tweeted and demanded that both the governments release the exact number of dead and injured. He wrote that Congress demands that the exact number of people killed in the stampede be released. The identities of the missing and injured should be revealed. Hiding the truth of the accident like this will not solve anything. The same thing happened in Uttar Pradesh and now it is happening in Delhi. The culprits of the accident should be caught and given the strictest punishment.
