Seven women were killed and more than a dozen injured in a crowd crush at Bihar's Ashok Dham Temple in Lakhisarai during the third Monday of Shravan.

With advance bookings touching nearly 95,000 passengers per day for the Shravan-Bhadau season, Ujjain is preparing for an unprecedented influx of devotees visiting the Mahakaleshwar Temple. Indian Railways will implement a one-way traffic system, deploy drones for crowd monitoring, run six additional trains, and establish a waterproof holding area to ensure smooth crowd management.

The Odisha government has confirmed two deaths during the Jagannath Rath Yatra in Puri, saying both were caused by medical emergencies and not a stampede. Over 100 devotees received medical treatment.

Special arrangements planned at major railway stations as thousands of NEET aspirants are expected to travel across Bhopal and nearby districts on June 21.
