At least 18 people have been killed and 10 others injured in a stampede at a railway station in New Delhi.
Thousands of people are said to have crowded the railway station on Saturday night as they tried to board delayed trains.
Four of the victims were children and 10 were women, according to a list released by officials, the BBC reports.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said in a post on X that his thoughts were "with all those who have lost their loved ones."
Crowd suppression is common in India, where there is frequent overcrowding at religious events, festivals and public spaces.
The incident comes weeks after 30 people died in a stampede at the Kumbh Mela festival in northern India, where tens of millions of Hindus had gathered to bathe in the waters of sacred rivers on one of the holiest days of the six-week event.
