A fire broke out after two gas cylinders exploded inside a tent at the Maha Kumbh venue in Uttar Pradesh’s Prayagraj, the police said. The fire spread to over 100 tents, burning them to the ground.

There were no reports of injuries, the police said.

Fire trucks already parked at the venue as part of the safety arrangement at the massive Maha Kumbh rushed to the affected area and doused the blaze, officials said.

People living in surrounding tents were evacuated for safety.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke with Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath to enquire about the incident, sources said. The chief minister sent senior officials to the affected site.

“Two cylinders exploded in Sector 19 of the Maha Kumbh Mela, causing a massive fire in the camps. Firefighters doused the blaze,” Akhara police station in-charge Bhaskar Mishra said, news agency PTI reported.
