Heavy Rush at Delhi's Rohini Metro Stations Following Private Religious Event

On April 23, several Delhi Metro stations in Rohini experienced heavy congestion and long queues as entry was restricted due to a large crowd of devotees returning from a six-day private religious event featuring Pradeep Mishra's retelling of the Mahashivapurana Katha. The rush caused road traffic to stall for about 2 km, with authorities managing crowd control and traffic diversion. Similar events by Mishra have previously led to disruptions in other cities.
