At least 15 people were injured on Saturday following a massive rush at New Delhi Railway Station. The incident prompted an immediate response from emergency services, with four fire tenders dispatched to the scene, according to the Delhi Fire Service.
Despite reports suggesting a stampede-like situation, Northern Railway officials have denied such claims. Chief Public Relations Officer (CPRO) Himanshu Shekhar Upadhyay clarified that the rush occurred due to two planned special trains bound for Prayagraj.
"There is no stampede at New Delhi Railway Station. It is only a rumour. Northern Railways was running two planned special trains (for Prayagraj)," Upadhyay stated.
