As part of the Yogi Adityanath Government's extensive preparations for the grand Kumbh Mela 2025 in Prayagraj, the Uttar Pradesh Roadways is implementing a comprehensive plan to ensure smooth transportation of devotees during the mega.
Chief minister Mamata Banerjee yesterday said that the state government goes all out to improve infrastructure for the Gangasagar Mela without taking any grant from the central government.
A large number of devotees from Uttar Pradesh had attended the Haridwar Kumbh Mela.
As further proof that that we are not scientifically-minded, we have important ministers and officer bearers brazenly defending bunkum ~the cow is the only animal that exhales oxygen and caressing and massaging it is a remedy for respiratory ailments.
The PM stressed that it will give a boost to the fight against the pandemic.
The helpline number, 1902, will remain active round the clock. By dialling the number the devotees could obtain information about traffic, Covid-19, hotels, Kumbh Mela, ‘Shahi Snan,’ and could also register complaints about missing persons and get other details.
Without mentioning any community, CM Tirath Rawat narrated ration distribution system, “Every family got 5 kilo ration per head. A family of 10 got 50 kilo ration each, 20 got 100 kg and a two-member family got 10 kg ration.”
The Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, Government of India, has issued Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) for Kumbh and under it only visitors with a negative Covid- 19 test report, done 72 hours prior to the date of visit, will be allowed to enter the Kumbh Mela area.
Gangasagar mela is an annual congregation of Hindu pilgrims at the Sagar island where they take holy dips at the confluence of the Ganga and the Bay of Bengal during the Makar Sankranti.
With the excellent arrangements that were put in place, it may be expected that pilgrims and tourists would carry pleasant memories back.
