18 killed in Delhi stampede: High alert sounded, enquiry ordered | 10 Points​

A high alert has been sounded at all railway stations across Uttar Pradesh in view of the stampede at the New Delhi Railway station which claimed 18 lives on Saturday. A two-member committee has also been formed to probe the incident.

In Short

  • Stampede at New Delhi Railway Station kills at least 18
  • Incident occurred on platforms 13 and 14 during Maha Kumbh rush
  • High-level enquiry ordered into the incident
A stampede at the New Delhi Railway Station claimed the lives of at least 18 people as thousands of Maha Kumbh devotees gathered to board trains. The death toll continues to increase as the injured persons are being treated at Lok Nayak Jai Prakash (LNJP) Hospital and Lady Hardinge Hospital.
The incident occurred at around 10 pm on platforms 13 and 14 as "some of the passengers present on the platforms fainted due to this sudden rush, further leading to the rumours of a stampede-like situation", the Railways confirmed. "This led to panic and chaos. The situation was later controlled by easing the rush situation. The Northern Railways immediately dispatched four special trains in the wake of the unprecedented sudden rush. A high level enquiry has been ordered," it added.
Videos of the incident showed a massive crowd of passengers rushing through the railway station -- some carrying children on their shoulders, while others struggled with their luggage amid the chaos. Eyewitnesses recounted the horror and some claimed that there were no police personnel to control the crowd at the railway station.

Train stations in India are also dangerous :(

That’s what decades of lack of nation planning and an inability to innovate in infrastructure does to a nation along with uncontrollable population growth. Also poor leadership plays a major part. I am not joking

Hedge funds have been piling into Chinese equities at the fastest pace in months as bullishness on the DeepSeek-driven technology rally adds to hopes for more economic stimulus. In contrast, India is suffering a record exodus of cash on concerns over waning macro growth, slowing corporate earnings and expensive stock valuations.

China’s onshore and offshore equity markets have added more than $1.3 trillion in total value in just the past month amid such reallocations, while India’s market has shrunk by more than $720 billion. The MSCI China Index is on track to outperform its Indian counterpart for a third-straight month, the longest such streak in two years.

Imagine being one of those suckers who bought into Indian stocks last year when they were already at the high point. Whoops

And we had jai hinds who were so convinced they already won. Fund managers only care about their returns and they only temporary parked their money in India while they waited for stuff in China to settle down. Much like how you invest in crypto, you don't aim to put your money there for a long time.
