Tight security arrangements are in place at the New Delhi Railway Station, a day following a stampede that claimed 18 lives there on Saturday night, said police. Delhi Police, along with the Railway Protection Force (RPF) and Government Railway Police (GRP), has deployed additional personnel to manage rush at the station, which remained overcrowded on Sunday with thousands of passengers struggling to board trains amid heavy rush, an officer said.

The officer said, “We have set up barricades, intensified patrolling and deployed quick-reaction teams to prevent any further incidents. CCTV surveillance has also been enhanced, with control rooms monitoring real-time footage for crowd control”.

Announcements are being made to guide the commuters and avoid panic situations, he said. Saturday’s stampede occurred at around 10 pm when a surge of passengers confused by a mix-up in train announcements, rushed towards platform 16 via a narrow stairway.

A stampede caused by a massive influx of passengers led to 18 deaths, including 4 children. The Railway Ministry has deployed four special trains to evacuate passengers, with assistance from the Delhi Police, Railway Police, NDRF, Fire Services, and ambulances.

Trapped between those trying to move up and others trying to descend, the crowd turned into a human bottleneck. The congestion remained largely unchanged on Sunday, with thousands still struggling for space on platforms.

PM Modi tweeted on X, “Distressed by the stampede at New Delhi Railway Station. My thoughts are with all those who have lost their loved ones. I pray that the injured have a speedy recovery. The authorities are assisting all those who have been affected by this stampede”.
