New Delhi: Even two days after the tragedy struck the Maha Kumbh on Mauni Amavasya in Prayagraj, reports of missing persons continue to emerge. Many pilgrims and common citizens remain distressed as their family members, who had gone for the holy dip, have not yet returned home. 

This has led to growing concerns and questions directed at the Yogi government, with people wondering why the administration has not yet provided clarity on the situation.
