The tragic stampede at New Delhi Railway Station, which claimed multiple lives, was caused by confusion over train announcements and unexpected overcrowding, according to Delhi Police. Police officials stated that the chaos began when the arrival of the Prayagraj Special was announced at Platform 16. This caused panic among passengers who were already waiting for the Prayagraj Express at Platform 14. Many passengers, assuming their train was arriving at Platform 16, rushed to the other platform, leading to the fatal stampede. The situation was further worsened by the presence of four trains heading to Prayagraj, three of which were delayed. The delays led to an unexpected surge in passengers, adding to the overcrowding on the platforms. Delhi Railway Station Tragedy: A List of Major Stampedes in India Over the Years.
