Six injured after hot air balloon explodes before taking off, one critical



As many as six people were injured in an explosion of a hot air balloon filled with helium gas at the Mahakumbh Mela in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh. The incident happened during the Hindu festival of Basant Panchami near Sector 20 of the festival grounds. The injured were taken to a nearby hospital, with one person in critical condition. The cause of the explosion is suspected to be a gas leak, and an investigation is ongoing. This incident follows a tragic stampede at the festival last week that resulted in 30 deaths. The Mahakumbh Mela, held once every 144 years, is a major Hindu pilgrimage that attracts devotees from all over the world.
