What caused the deadly stampede at New Delhi railway station?
According to the RPF report, the stampede was triggered by two conflicting announcements about a Kumbh special train's platform change from 12 to 16. When the second announcement was made, passengers from platforms 12-15 began moving via foot bridges, while passengers from other trains (Magadh Express, Uttar Sampar Kranti, and Prayagraj Express) were moving in the opposite direction. In the resulting chaos on the staircases, some passengers slipped and fell, and were subsequently trampled by the crowds. The timing of the platform change announcement was particularly problematic as it came when personnel were already attempting to manage crowded platforms and foot bridges, leading to 18 fatalities.

What caused the deadly stampede at New Delhi railway station?
According to the Railway Protection Force report, conflicting platform announcements for a Kumbh special train to Prayagraj triggered the deadly stampede that claimed 18 lives. Initially, at around 8:45pm, passengers were informed the train would depart from platform 12. Shortly after, a second announcement redirected passengers to platform 16 instead. This sudden change in departure platforms created confusion and chaos as passengers rushed between different locations, leading to dangerous overcrowding on the foot over bridges. The RPF report directly attributes the stampede situation to these two differing announcements, contradicting earlier claims by Indian Railways about a single announcement.
