New Delhi: Congress president Mallikarjun Kharge on Wednesday alleged that “half-baked arrangements, VIP movements, self promotion and mismanagement” were responsible for the stampede on the Sangam bank at the Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj.

Taking to his social media handle, Kharge said, “Despite spending thousands of crores of rupees, such arrangements are condemnable. There are still many important Shahi Snan left, so the central and state governments should wake up now and improve the arrangements so that such unpleasant incidents don not happen in future”.

He said, “Arrangement for accommodations, food, first aid and movement of devotees should be expanded and VIP movement should be curbed”.

He also urged the Congress workers to provide all possible help to the victims.

It may be mentioned that a few pilgrims were injured in a stampede on the Sangam bank at the Maha Kumbh here early on Wednesday.

Official sources said the incident took place around 2 am due to heavy crowd pressure on the occasion of Mauni Amavasya. However, the exact number of the injured is yet to be confirmed by the Mela administration or the police.
