CM Yogi has urged all state and national citizens, as well as revered saints and devotees, to exercise restraint and not listen to the rumors.
On Mauni Amavasya, Akharas’ amrit bath had begun. The Amrit Snan had been canceled by the Akharas of Maha Kumbh following the night’s mayhem. The Akharas have now departed for Amrit Snan, nevertheless.
The coincidence of 144 years in Mahakumbh is a big reason for the stampede
The 144-year coincidence, which was also mentioned by the government and saints and sages, is one of the main causes of the stampede that occurred late Tuesday night at the Maha Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh.
During this auspicious time, people were sitting and lying on the ghat for Sangam baths when the unruly crowd broke the barrier and crushed them. People were sitting and lying on the Sangam Ghat, waiting for the dawn, according to Madhumita, an Assamese witness to this incidence at the Sangam region. The mob then surged toward the ghat and burst through the barriers erected for the Akharas’ Amrit bath, and the people who were lying on the ghat arrived under the grip of this crowd.
