Akhilesh Yadav called it unfortunate and sad that the news of the stampedes and accidents involving the vehicles of the devotees of Mahakumbh is increasing by the day.
“The main reason behind this is that the health condition of drivers are very bad due to heavy jams and chaos. Neither their fatigue is coming down nor sleep is being completed. In such a situation, they are driving a vehicle in the state of drowsiness leading to accidents,” he claimed.
