Allahabad HC Orders UP to Finalize Compensation for Mahakumbh Stampede Victim

A man named Uday Pratap Singh lost his wife in a big crowd accident called a stampede during a religious event called Mahakumbh in Prayagraj.

The government said they would give money to the families of those who died, but it took a long time.

A court told the government to give the money to Uday's family quickly, within 30 days.

The court also said the government should have taken better care of the families who lost loved ones.

Uday's wife's body was found in a hospital, but the hospital did not do the right papers before giving the body to the family.

The court was not happy with how the government handled the situation.
