Yogi Adityanath swiftly managed the Maha Kumbh stampede, emphasizing crisis management and unity at the event.
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday (March 3, 2025) said his government acted swiftly to control the situation after the January 29 stampede at the Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj, ensuring timely medical aid for victims while preventing widespread panic.
Addressing a gathering of Indian Institute of Management (IIM) and Indian Postal Service officials in Lucknow, Adityanath said, "We did not allow the incident to be excessively highlighted as eight crore devotees and sadhus were present in Prayagraj and the Kumbh Mela area at the time and panic could have worsened the situation."
