The Allahabad High Court has summoned a response from the Uttar Pradesh government regarding the stampede that occurred during the Maha Kumbh. The court has also raised concerns about the functioning of the inquiry commission set up to investigate the incident.

Key Concerns Raised by the Court

  • The court has asked the state administration to provide a detailed report on the cause of the stampede and the measures taken to prevent such tragedies.
  • It has questioned whether the inquiry commission is conducting a thorough and impartial investigation.
  • Concerns have been raised about possible administrative lapses and whether adequate crowd control measures were in place.

Government’s Response Awaited

The Uttar Pradesh government is expected to submit a formal reply, addressing the concerns raised by the court. Officials have assured that necessary steps are being taken to improve safety measures for future events.

Impact of the Court’s Intervention

The court’s involvement is likely to push for stricter regulations on crowd management at religious gatherings. With millions attending the Maha Kumbh, ensuring public safety remains a top priority.

Further developments in the case will determine the accountability of the authorities and the effectiveness of preventive measures for future events.
