Further, Minister Krishna Byre Gowda stated that there are no reports of any other Karnataka pilgrims being injured or hospitalized due to the stampede. However, the Nodal Officer of Karnataka, Harshal Boyar IAS, has been directed to take all necessary measures to verify if there are any more injured individuals from the state undergoing treatment in hospitals.

The tragic pre-dawn stampede occurred in the Sangam area of the Maha Kumbh Mela on Wednesday, as a massive crowd gathered for the holy dip on Mauni Amavasya, one of the most sacred days in the Hindu calendar. The incident resulted in at least 30 deaths and 60 injuries, with authorities still assessing the situation.
