Maha Kumbh 2025: The scene at Sangam City, Prayagraj, has undergone significant changes in the wake of the tragic Maha Kumbh Stampede. Devotees gathered in large numbers for religious events, but the incident has prompted the administration to take stringent measures to ensure the safety and convenience of the pilgrims. Let’s explore what’s changed since the stampede and the steps being taken by CM Yogi's government.

Maha Kumbh 2025 - A Stricter Approach to Manage Crowds

After the Maha Kumbh Stampede, the situation at the fairground has been closely monitored. The Yogi government has taken proactive measures to improve the overall experience for pilgrims. As a result, the entire area has been declared a no-vehicle zone. This step aims to reduce congestion and prevent any further incidents. VVIP passes have also been canceled to ensure the administration focuses entirely on the safety of the devotees.

Sangam City Under Strict Surveillance

The roadways leading to the Maha Kumbh 2025 area are now strictly regulated. Authorities have introduced one-way traffic and imposed a complete ban on vehicles entering the fairground. Popular routes, such as Ayodhya-Prayagraj, Lucknow-Pratapgarh-Prayagraj, and Fatehpur-Prayagraj, are being closely monitored to maintain smooth traffic flow and avoid overcrowding.

Post-Stampede Vigilance

The impact of the Maha Kumbh Stampede is still fresh in the minds of many. However, compared to January 29, the crowd density has significantly reduced. The local police and administration are working round the clock to ensure that all pilgrims receive adequate care and attention. To further streamline the crowd, street vendors have been relocated to open spaces, making sure there is no obstruction to the traffic.

Top Officials Review the Maha Kumbh Stampede

In response to the tragedy, Chief Secretary Manoj Kumar Singh and DGP Prashant Kumar have been dispatched to Prayagraj to meet the injured and review the incident. This move is part of CM Yogi's hands-on approach to ensure accountability and transparency. A three-member investigation committee has been formed to thoroughly analyse the incident, with a final report expected within a month.
