From 1954 to 2025, how Prayagraj has learned to live with stories of Kumbh stampedes

In 1954, a tragic stampede occurred during the Kumbh Mela in Allahabad, leading to many deaths. Seventy-one years later, another stampede happened on January 29, 2023, during the 'amrit snan' in the same city, now Prayagraj, despite efforts to improve crowd management and safety. Survivors and witnesses shared their experiences of both incidents.
