Fire Breaks Out at 15 Tents in Prayagraj, No Casualties Reported

 Prayagraj (Uttar Pradesh), January 30: A fire broke out in 15 tents erected in an open area in Prayagraj’s Chatnag Ghat Police Station limits on Thursday. Fire officials promptly responded to the emergency and successfully brought the blaze under control. No casualties were reported in the incident, authorities confirmed.


Swift Response from Fire Department

Pramod Sharma, an official from the Uttar Pradesh Fire Department, stated, "We received information about a fire affecting 15 tents in the Chatnag Ghat Police Station area, Koday. Immediate action was taken, and the fire was swiftly extinguished."

Officials further clarified that the affected tents were unauthorized structures. Sub-Divisional Magistrate (SDM) confirmed the tents had been set up without proper authorization, adding that the situation is now under control.

Previous Incidents at Maha Kumbh

The incident comes shortly after a fire broke out earlier at the Maha Kumbh due to the explosion of three cooking gas cylinders, though no casualties were reported.

However, a tragic stampede at the Maha Kumbh on Wednesday claimed 30 lives and left 60 others injured. In response, the Uttar Pradesh government has announced financial assistance of ₹25 lakh for the families of the deceased. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has also ordered a judicial inquiry, directing a judicial committee to submit its findings to the state government within a specified timeframe.

Maha Kumbh Continues Amid Safety Measures

The Maha Kumbh, which began on January 13, will continue until February 26. Authorities have reinforced security and crowd management protocols to prevent further incidents.

The remaining major 'snan' (holy bath) dates for the Maha Kumbh 2025 are:

  • February 3 – Basant Panchami (Third Shahi Snan)

  • February 12 – Maghi Purnima

  • February 26 – Maha Shivaratri

Officials are closely monitoring safety measures to ensure a smooth and secure experience for millions of pilgrims expected to visit the sacred event.
