00:10There is a maha kumbh megha and in this way

00:12At New Delhi railway station

00:14You know that

00:16When we enter the railway station

00:18So how does it happen there

00:20Everyone has to go step by step

00:22And there is full checking

00:24And here, in this way

00:26It is said that

00:28There is a train coming from platform 14 to 15

00:30Do you understand sir?

00:32So how did the rumour spread there?

00:34Who is responsible for this?

00:36It is the negligence of the police

00:38How did this rumour spread?

00:40Because there is a mic announcement

00:42And in this way, the crowd

00:44It is not an easy thing

00:46Because everyone was aware

00:48Because there is a CCTV camera

00:50There is a control room

00:52But you could not control it

00:54Your police officers

00:56Could not control it

00:58And there is a statement of ACP

01:00That all the people here

01:02Could not control it

01:04People thought it is coming to platform 14

01:06But it came to platform 13

01:08But why did this rumour spread?

01:10And so many people came

01:12You sent them step by step

01:14This is a very big thing

01:16What did you see when you went there?

01:18When we went there

01:20Because I was with CP

01:22We got the foreign news

01:24There was a huge crowd

01:26There was an ambulance

01:28And there was a lot of crowd

01:30Do you understand sir?

01:32Because everyone was afraid to go inside

01:34So we also saw this

01:36There was a lot of crowd

01:38What else did you see?

01:40What else did I see?

01:42What did you feel?

01:44I felt that the crowd

01:46The police department should

01:48Keep an eye on it

01:50And guide everyone step by step

01:52There should be a guideline

01:54There was no guideline

01:56Because the way the police

01:58Are removing you here

02:00If it would have been like that

02:02It would not have happened

02:04We would not have had to see this

02:06And we would not have been

02:08At Lok Naik Hospital
