India's GDP Surges to $4.3 Trillion, Doubling in a Decade

At least 15 people have died and 10 others sustained injuries following a crush at New Delhi Railway Station, according to multiple Indian media reports. Eyewitness accounts cited a "huge crowd" gathered for the Hindu religious festival, Kumbh Mela, leading to chaotic scenes. Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed his condolences, stating he was "with all those who have lost their loved ones" in a post on social media platform X.
Dr. Ritu Saxena, deputy medical superintendent of Lok Nayak Hospital, confirmed that 15 fatalities were recorded at her facility, including three children and ten women, as reported by Reuters. The situation at the station is now under control, though initial reports regarding a stampede were dismissed as "rumors" by Indian Railways.
Witnesses described a stampede-like atmosphere, with crowds overwhelming police efforts to maintain order. This incident follows a similar tragedy earlier this month at Kumbh Mela, where dozens were killed in a crush amid massive attendance.
