00:00On the first night of Mouni Amavasya's bath in Mahakumbh, Bhagadad, an area of Akhada,
00:0730 devotees were killed, while 60 were injured.
00:11Kumbh Nagri's DIG Vaibhav Krishna gave this information during a press conference.
00:17He said that 25 devotees were identified in the incident, while 5 were not identified.
00:25He also said that the injured devotees are being treated in the hospital,
00:30while some of the injured have been taken with them by their relatives.
00:34The administration made a green corridor while providing immediate relief and safety,
00:41and sent about 90 injured people to the hospital through an ambulance.
00:47But unfortunately, 30 of them died.
00:54How many?
00:5530.
00:5725 of them have been identified, and the rest are yet to be identified.
01:04Some of them are from outside India, like Karnataka,
01:12Assam, Gujarat.
01:17Some of the injured have been taken with them by their relatives,
01:21and 36 of them are being treated in the local medical college.
01:26While giving information about the reason for the bhagadad,
01:29the DIG said that where the incident took place,
01:32the barricades were broken due to the pressure of the crowd in the Akhada area,
01:37and then a large number of devotees climbed on the people sleeping there, waiting to take a bath.
01:44In the same frenzy, many devotees were injured,
01:47who were immediately taken to the hospital by ambulance.
01:51In the Akhada area, there are barricades everywhere.
02:04Some barricades were broken in the Akhada area,
02:12and because of the barricades, the devotees who sleep on the ground or wait to take a bath,
02:25were taken to the Akhada area, where the rest of the devotees were taken to the hospital.
02:42The situation was such that the devotees were waiting to take a bath,
02:50and as soon as the devotees came there,
02:55they could not see who was below them, and that is why they were injured.
03:07Along with this, the DIG also said that there was no VIP protocol in view of the crowd on Mouni Amavasya.
03:14Due to this incident, the government has also imposed restrictions on the VIP protocol during a major bath festival.
03:21Today, on 29 January, the government gave strict instructions that there would be no VIP protocol.
03:32Today, the Mela police and the Mela administration have not entertained any VIP protocol.
03:39Even on the major bath festivals, like Adavi and Santh Panchami,
03:46which are very crowded, no VIP protocol has been entertained by us.
03:53It is obvious that after this incident on the Mouni Amavasya festival in Mahakumbh,
03:58the police and the administration started the work of relief and protection very quickly.
04:03On one hand, where the injured were taken to the hospital,
04:07on the other hand, the security system in the entire Mela area was strengthened.
