HC criticises UP govt over ex-gratia delay in Kumbh stampede case
An Allahabad High Court bench criticised Uttar Pradesh government over delayed compensation to Maha Kumbh stampede victims' families. "We find…stand taken to be untenable and smacking of apathy to...plight of...citizen," it said while hearing a man's petition, whose wife allegedly died in stampede. It asked state authorities to submit details of victims and steps taken to compensate families.
