India

A somber turn during this year's Kanwar Yatra: Hansraj, a 29-year-old from Delhi, lost his life when his bike was hit near Khatauli.
Sixty-eight other pilgrims were hurt in various incidents on the last day of the pilgrimage.

Most of the injured treated at local hospitals

Most of the injured were treated at local hospitals in Muzaffarnagar—some bounced back to continue their journey, while those with serious injuries are still recovering.

With safety a big concern this year, UP police banned tridents and hockey sticks along the route and put over 66,000 officers plus drones on duty.
