Delhi Police deploy six officers at NDLS for crowd management. The deployment is part of an effort to streamline crowd movement and avert any untoward incidents. On Saturday night, a stampede at the station resulted in the deaths of at least 18 people, including five children, and left over a dozen injured. The Maha Shivratri snan on February 26 is expected to draw a large number of devotees travelling to Prayagraj for a holy dip in the Ganges. The final major snan of the Kumbh Mela approaches on Feb 26 on ShivRatri. The incident took place on the foot-overbridge connecting platform numbers 14 and 15, where some passengers slipped while descending, leading to panic and a fatal crush. The tragedy occurred due to a sudden surge of passengers waiting to board trains bound for Praysagraj. About 1.49 crore devotees took the holy dip at the Triveni Sangam on Sunday, the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said.
