Despite the Speaker's attempts to maintain order, tensions rose as opposition members called for Question Hour suspension and a list of the deceased. Thirty people died in the tragic event.

The Lok Sabha on Monday was engulfed by noisy protests from opposition parties, who demanded a thorough discussion on the recent stampede tragedy during the Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj.

On the first session post-President's joint address and budget presentation, the opposition, led by Congress, demanded a detailed discussion on the issue, highlighting the need for a list of the deceased victims.

Despite Speaker Om Birla's instructions to raise the issue during the debate on the President's address, opposition leaders led by Gaurav Gogoi and K C Venugopal stormed the House, urging a suspension of the Question Hour to prioritize discussions on the tragedy, where 30 people were killed and 60 injured.
