Allahabad: Over two dozen people have been reportedly feared dead in a stampede that broke out at platform number 6 of the Allahabad Railway station on Sunday evening when pilgrims were going back to their places after the Shahi Snan on the pious occasion of Mauni Amavasya.

At least 50 people are reportedly injured in the stampede.

The stampede reportedly broke out after a part of foot-over Railway Bridge collapsed. The station was tightly packed amid the highly deployment of police personals.

Lathi charge from police has also been reported from the Kumbh City station. Sources say that after a stampede broke out at the station, police used lathis to control the situation.

Meanwhile, authorities have yet not confirmed the number of people died in the incident.

Over three crore people today took holy dip at Sangam on most auspicious day 'Mauni Amavasya'.
