At least 18 people, including 11 women and five children, were killed and over a dozen were injured in a stampede at New Delhi Railway Station on Saturday, caused by a sudden rush of passengers who were trying to board trains for the Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj.
An official said some people who were coming down from a foot-over bridge towards platform numbers 14 and 15 using stairs slipped and fell on others.
The Railways said a high-level inquiry has been ordered into the "unfortunate incident".
President Droupadi Murmu and Prime Minister Narendra Modi condoled the loss of lives.
