Frenzy to reach coveted 'Sangam Nose' for holy dip led to stampede at Mahakumbh

New Indian Express  

LUCKNOW: A frenzy to reach the coveted 'Sangam Nose' to take the second Amrit Snan in the wee hours of ‘Mauni Amavasya’ led to the stampede claiming 30 lives and leaving over 60 injured at the Mahakumbh on Wednesday. Devotees, who had thronged the Sangam for a holy dip, wanted to bathe at the limited space of the 'Sangam Nose' reserved for Akharas. Also, a rumour that Naga Sadhus had started for the holy dip made the devotees rush and they jumped over each other breaking the barricade, leading to the stampede. Several women had fallen to the ground and got trampled by the crowd proceeding towards the Sangam,” said Rakesh Sahu of Rae Bareli.
