At least 18 people were killed in a stampede at New Delhi Railway Station on Saturday evening, prompting the Railways to launch a high-level inquiry. The tragedy unfolded near platforms 13 and 14 as a sudden surge of passengers led to panic and chaos.

Moments after the stampede, harrowing footage captures the commotion—injured passengers lying on the platform and station stairs, while fellow commuters offer water and assist in rescue efforts.

Fire officials deployed four fire tenders after receiving distress calls around 9:55 p.m., with the injured rushed to Lok Nayak Hospital. The Railway Ministry has announced Rs 10 lakh compensation for the families of the deceased, Rs 2.5 lakh for those with grievous injuries, and Rs 1 lakh for minor injuries.

In an official statement, the Railways attributed the incident to an "unprecedented rush," where some passengers fainted, triggering panic and a stampede-like situation. Authorities have since eased congestion, bringing the situation under control.
