An incident at the New Delhi train station left 18 dead and at least 10 injured, and it’s not a rare occurrence for India as a whole.

According to The Hindu, the incident occurred when thousands of people crammed into the train station on a Saturday night. Four of the victims of the scramble were children and 10 were women. The reason this all happened was due to two trains arriving late at the station, causing more traffic than necessary, and causing a stampede.

“Crowd Crushes,” which is what people call them, occur all the time in India, wherever there is a religious event or any event, because of their huge population. This incident comes just weeks after 30 people were crushed at a religious event where tens of millions of Hindus came to bathe in sacred river waters for a religious day.

At least 36 people were also crushed to death in 2013, the last time the festival was held in Prayagraj, and more than 400 died after they were trampled or drowned on a single day of the festival in 1954.

India’s railway system, which is the fourth-largest train network in the world, has also witnessed serious accidents in the past couple of years, including a collision in 2023 that killed at least 288 people, according to CBS News.
