Samajwadi Party President Akhilesh Yadav described the tragic deaths of devotees at Mahakumbh in Delhi as heartbreaking and called for adequate compensation for the families of the deceased pilgrims nationwide.
“Those in the government must realize that they need to think not as politicians, but as family members grieving for their loved ones—parents, siblings, children, and relatives. There should be genuine efforts to return the victims’ bodies to their families and ensure the injured receive the best possible treatment. The BJP government should not conceal the actual number of fatalities,” he stated in a press release on Sunday.

Yadav expressed disappointment over the increasing reports of stampedes and accidents involving Mahakumbh devotees.
“The primary cause of these incidents is the poor health of drivers, exacerbated by heavy traffic congestion and chaos. Their fatigue is unrelenting, and they are often unable to get adequate rest. As a result, they are driving in a drowsy state, leading to accidents,” he asserted.

The SP chief emphasized that all devotees who have either participated in Mahakumbh or perished while returning should receive compensation equivalent to those who suffered from stampedes, accidents, or suffocation, among other tragedies. He insisted that all injured individuals also deserve compensation.
“The central and state governments should allocate funds for these compensations, especially since they invest billions in publicity. Why can’t they provide support for grieving families?” he questioned.

BSP leader Mayawati also expressed her sorrow over the deaths of individuals traveling to the Mahakumbh at New Delhi Railway Station on Saturday night.
In a social media post, she attributed the stampede-related injuries and fatalities to significant negligence on the part of the railway system.
“I extend my heartfelt condolences to the victims. The government must take action against those responsible and provide assistance to the affected families,” she urged.

National: One year after the deadly terror attack in Pahalgam, the nation remembers the 26 people who lost their lives. The attack took place on April 22 at Baisaran, a popular tourist spot.

At first, reports said only five people were injured. Later, it became clear that it was one of the worst terror attacks in the region in decades. Terrorists came out of the forest and opened fire on tourists.

Survivors said the attackers separated men from women and children. They then shot the men at close range. Many victims were reportedly targeted after being asked about their religion.

A heartbreaking image of Himanshi Narwal sitting beside her husband’s body became a symbol of the tragedy. Her husband, a naval officer, was among those killed.

The group The Resistance front, linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba, claimed responsibility. The case was investigated by the National Investigation Agency.

After months of tracking, security forces launched Operation Mahadev. On July 28, 2025, all three terrorists were killed after a long search operation.

The attack remains a painful memory and a reminder of the need for strong security.
