During his visit to Prayagraj on Wednesday, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath will review the ongoing preparations for Maha Kumbh 2025 with a focus on cleanliness and security. He will also inaugurate major sanitation and security projects valued at over Rs 238 crore.

The projects include state-of-the-art equipment aimed at enhancing cleanliness and safety at Maha Kumbh.

A significant highlight will be the unveiling of a newly constructed control room in the municipal corporation, which is expected to streamline operations during the event.

In a move to empower workers and volunteers, the chief minister will distribute uniform kits to sanitation workers and ‘Swachhagrahis’ and provide life jackets to sailors, reinforcing their critical role in maintaining the event’s standards.

Additionally, CM Yogi will launch various schemes to benefit these frontline workers.

Prior to reviewing Maha Kumbh preparations, the chief minister will inspect developmental works at key religious sites.

The chief minister will inaugurate advanced sanitation equipment, including tippers and compactors, at a programme in the Parade Mela area. These projects are valued at Rs 50.38 crore. Furthermore, CM

Yogi will unveil fire safety, water police, radio, and traffic equipment worth Rs 173 crore.

In total, the Chief Minister will launch projects worth Rs 237.38 crore aimed at ensuring cleanliness, security, and support for ‘Swachhagrahis’ and Ganga Seva volunteers during Maha Kumbh 2025.

The CM will also extend benefits to sanitation workers and ‘Swachhagrahis’ through various welfare schemes. As part of this initiative, around 20,000 ‘Swachhagrahis’ and Safai Mitras will receive uniform kits, and life jackets will be distributed to boatmen.  

Under the Swachh Kumbh Fund, over 15,000 personnel—including 10,000 workers, 3,000 boatmen, and others—will be linked to more than five schemes aimed at improving their welfare. These schemes will also include the distribution of insurance certificates to the workers, ensuring their safety and well-being.  

CM Yogi and other dignitaries will take a pledge to realise the vision of a clean Maha Kumbh and a cleaner Prayagraj, reinforcing their commitment to a hygienic and secure event for all devotees and visitors.

The CM will review various development works and participate in several significant programs. Alongside attending an event at Allahabad University, he will offer prayers at the Nagvasuki Temple.

The chief minister will also inspect key projects, including the Dashashwamedh Ghat, the Ganga Riverfront, dredging activities in the Ganga river, and the construction of pontoon bridges.  

In preparation for Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s upcoming visit, Yogi will examine the proposed event site at Sangam Nose.

Additionally, he will oversee the signing of an MoU with Google. For the first time, Google will integrate the temporary city being set up for Maha Kumbh into its navigation services.

This initiative will enable visitors to easily locate major religious sites, ghats, and akharas within the fair area using Google Maps, significantly enhancing their experience.
