Prayagraj Mahakumbh Stampede news
Prime Minister Narendra Modi sent his sympathies to the grieving families following a stampede-like occurrence that happened at the Sangam during the ongoing Maha Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj. In addition to wishing the injured people a quick recovery, PM Modi stated the local government is working to assist sufferers.
According to UP CM, the situation is under control. Yogi Adityanath, the chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, stated some time ago that the issue is under control, although some devotees have been seriously hurt. About eight to ten crore people are in Prayagraj today for “Amrit Snan,” according to Adityanath, who has advised everyone to exercise caution.
Many have been transported to the hospital after being suspected of being hurt. With accusations of “mismanagement” and “VIP culture,” the opposition parties have been attacking the BJP-led UP government and the central government.

Pralhad Joshi writes to the DGCA on the expensive flights to Prayagraj. In a letter to the DGCA, the aviation regulator, Consumer Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi asked for a decrease in “exorbitant” tickets to Prayagraj, which is hosting the Maha Kumbh Mela through February 26.
The priest voiced worries that it would be challenging for followers to attend the holy event due to the high cost of flying. “People have found it challenging to arrange travel to attend Maha Kumbh due to the extremely high airfare prices,” Joshi wrote in a social media post.
