Fast and Factual LIVE: Stampede Breaks Out At India’s Maha Kumbh Festival

A stampede occurred at the Maha Kumbh in India’s Prayagraj on Wednesday. At least 30 women were injured, and several people were feared dead. The incident occurred after a surge in devotees gathered near the holy river for Mauni Amavasya, one of the most important days for the holy dip. A rush of people caused barricades to break about a kilometre from the “Sangam” (the holy river). Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah spoke with Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath and asked him for immediate support measures.
