A massive crash at the New Delhi railway station has killed 18 people and wounded at least 10 others.
The event occurred on Saturday evening when thousands of passengers tried to board delayed trains, creating a chaotic situation. Victims include four children and ten women, according to local authorities.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed his condolences to the victims' families, while authorities have launched an investigation to determine the causes of tragedy. Witnesses said that the crowd was out of control, especially since many travelers were heading toward the Kumbh Mela religious festival in the town of Prayagraj.
The event has prompted sharp reactions from the opposition, which has criticised the government for failing to manage crowds and lack of preventive measures. Opposition leader Rahul Gandhi stressed that better preparations must have been made to avoid such a tragedy.
Investigations continue to determine responsibility and prevent similar incidents in the future.
