Security steps up crowd control at India's Kumbh Mela after stampede
Security steps up crowd control operations at the Maha Kumbh Mela or Great Pitcher Festival in north India's Uttar Pradesh state in the early morning of Jan. 29, 2025 after an official said more than seven people were killed and 10 injured in a stampede at the Hindu festival. Authorities standing behind a boundary line tried to manage a large crowd squeezing shoulder-to-shoulder as they arrived at pre-dawn for the holy dip to mark the most auspicious day of the Maha Kumbh Mela. Security personnel also formed a human line to let several ambulances drive past following the situation. Authorities had expected a record 100 million people to throng the temporary township in Prayagraj for the holy dip, considered the most auspicious day due to a rare alignment of celestial bodies after 144 years.
