An official from the fire department said that although the fire tenders faced difficulty in reaching the tents as there were no access roads, they were able to put out the fire in time and no casualties or injuries have been reported.

A fire broke out in 15 tents at the Maha Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, on Thursday morning. The fire was doused and there was no casualty in the incident, according to the Fire Department. This incident occurred one day after 30 people were killed in a stampede in the Sangam area on Wednesday.

With the Nashik Kumbh Mela in 2027 expected to draw lakhs of devotees, multiple challenges lie ahead for the administration.

At least 15 tents were gutted on Thursday after they caught fire near Chamanganj Chowki outside Sector 22 in the Maha Kumbh Mela area with officials saying there was no loss of life. Chief Fire Officer (Kumbh) Pramod Sharma said information about a fire was received this afternoon and the fire was extinguished immediately.

Two stampedes have occurred on Wednesday in Prayagraj at the Maha Kumbh Mela ahead of the festival of Mauni Amawasya. While the stampede at Sangam Nose killed 30 people, another stampede in Setor 18 killed seven devotees.

A stampede broke out at the world's largest religious festival in India early on Wednesday, leaving numerous people injured, including women and children, local media reported. The situation was initially unclear and reports were circulating of multiple fatalities,

A stampede at the Maha Kumbh on January 29 resulted in 30 deaths and 60 injuries as millions gathered for Mauni Amavasya. The Uttar Pradesh government announced ₹25 lakh assistance for victims' families and initiated a judicial inquiry into the incident.
