17th February 2025: A tragic stampede occurred at Delhi Railway Station last night, leading to the loss of 18 lives. The incident took place early in the morning as passengers scrambled between Platforms 14 and 16 due to confusion over the arrival of the “Prayagraj Special” and “Prayagraj Express” trains. Incorrect announcements and delays created chaos, causing passengers to rush and collide.
As a result, overcrowding led to the fatal stampede, with many others injured. The Delhi Police are investigating the cause, while the Railway Ministry has expressed regret and set up a committee to investigate the incident. The ministry has vowed to improve safety measures and communication to prevent such tragedies in the future.
