What we know
A stampede at the Maha Kumbh on 29 January 2025 killed 30 people, according to the official toll. A judicial commission was given a month to report.
Families are still going to court for compensation. In April 2026 the High Court ordered claims to be settled within 30 days. Whether the commission's report has been published needs checking.
Open questions
- Has the judicial commission's report been published, and what did it find?
- How many families have received compensation since the April 2026 order?
- How are crowds managed at the largest gatherings elsewhere in the world?
