**Prayagraj, India** — In the wake of tragic accidents during the ongoing Maha Kumbh Mela, Samajwadi Party leader Akhilesh Yadav has urged the government to provide compensation to the families of devotees who lost their lives. The massive religious congregation, which draws millions of pilgrims from across the country, has been marred by several unfortunate incidents.
Yadav emphasized the need for immediate government intervention to support the bereaved families. “The loss of life during such a sacred event is heartbreaking,” he stated, calling for swift action to ensure the safety and well-being of all attendees.
The Maha Kumbh Mela, renowned for its spiritual significance, has seen increased scrutiny over safety measures following these incidents. Authorities are being urged to enhance safety protocols to prevent further tragedies.
The government has yet to respond to Yadav’s appeal, but the issue has sparked a broader discussion on the safety of large-scale religious gatherings in India.
