On Day 7 of Mahakumbh 2025, a fire incident and a major cylinder blast raised serious concerns, leading to immediate action from authorities. The fire, which broke out in one of the busy areas, caused panic among the massive crowd. At the same time, a cylinder explosion resulted in several injuries and significant damage to the surrounding area. In response, the district administration has ordered a magistrate inquiry to investigate the causes behind these unfortunate events.

The primary objective of the inquiry is to determine the root causes of both incidents, investigate the safety lapses, and hold responsible parties accountable. With millions of devotees attending the event, the safety of the public is a paramount concern. Local authorities have already begun reviewing safety protocols to prevent further incidents and ensure that proper measures are taken to avoid such accidents in the future.

In addition to the inquiry, the authorities are focusing on tightening security measures to maintain order and reduce risks. Officials are also working to provide necessary medical assistance to the victims of the cylinder blast, while assessing the damage caused by both the fire and explosion. The incident has highlighted the need for better emergency response and preparedness, given the scale of Mahakumbh, which sees people from across the country congregating for the religious gathering.

As the investigation continues, the authorities have assured the public that necessary steps will be taken to enhance safety for the remainder of the Mahakumbh 2025. This incident serves as a reminder of the importance of ensuring robust safety measures during such large-scale events.
