Railways on Sunday announced a compensation of ₹10 lakh each for the next of kin of those killed in the stampede at the New Delhi Railway Station.
“Those seriously injured will get ₹2.5 lakh and those with minor injuries ₹1 lakh,” the railway said.
At least 18 people were killed and more than a dozen injured in the stampede that broke out late Saturday night at the crowded railway station.
The stampede was preceded by a swell in crowd of passengers waiting to board trains for Prayagraj -- where the Maha Kumbh is underway -- on platform number 14 and 15 of the station.
