At the Kumbh Mela, confidence and fatalities
It is dull and tumultuous at 11 p.m. on January 29. Vishal Gautam, 38, has been stuck in a taxi in a tight spot in Rae Bareli for seven hours since he ventured out from home in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh. He is frantic to get to Prayagraj, the site of the Maha Kumbh Mela, perhaps of the biggest strict occasion on the planet. Here, in excess of 135 kilometers away, official evaluations say 30 individuals kicked the bucket and 60 were harmed during a charge in the early long stretches of January 29.
