An official from the fire department said that although the fire tenders faced difficulty in reaching the tents as there were no access roads, they were able to put out the fire in time and no casualties or injuries have been reported.

A fire broke out in 15 tents at the Maha Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, on Thursday morning. The fire was doused and there was no casualty in the incident, according to the Fire Department. This incident occurred one day after 30 people were killed in a stampede in the Sangam area on Wednesday.

With the Nashik Kumbh Mela in 2027 expected to draw lakhs of devotees, multiple challenges lie ahead for the administration.
