Smooth traffic ensures seamless holy dip in Sangam for pilgrims

Friday, 14 February 2025 | Biswajeet Banerjee | Mahakumbh Nagar

Prayagraj's traffic remains smooth despite the massive Magh Purnima rush, as effective administrative arrangements ensure a hassle-free pilgrimage to the Sangam.

According to the Fair police, traffic is moving smoothly on all major routes, including Malak Harhar (Lucknow), Mirzapur Road, Rewa Road, Sahson (Jaunpur), Phaphamau (Lucknow), Andawa (Varanasi route), and Kaushambi. 

In view of Mahakumbh, security forces and traffic police have been strategically deployed on all major routes to ensure devotees do not face any inconvenience.

The Traffic department has urged devotees to adhere to the instructions issued by the administration and avoid unnecessary halts on any route.

Chhattisgarh Governor, CM, cabinet take holy dip

On Thursday, a 166-member Chhattisgarh delegation, led by Governor Ramen Deka, CM Vishnu Deo Sai, and Speaker Dr. Raman Singh, also joined, along with several opposition MLAs. Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai expressed his heartfelt gratitude to Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath for the divine and grand organization of Mahakumbh. Along with taking a dip in Triveni Sangam, he prayed for the welfare and prosperity of the people of Chhattisgarh. Later, CM Sai visited the Chhattisgarh Mandap in Sector 7 to check on the well-being of devotees from his state and review the arrangements made for them.

 Vishnu Deo Sai, accompanied by his wife Kaushalya Sai, Governor Ramen Deka, Assembly Speaker Raman Singh, MPs, and MLAs, reached Arail Ghat for the holy bath.

The entire delegation took a dip in the Sangam together. CM Sai expressed his gratitude to CM Yogi Adityanath, saying, "Today, the Governor, MLAs, MPs, and my entire cabinet have come to take this sacred dip of faith. We are deeply thankful to Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath for inviting us to this divine event."

Following the holy bath, CM shared his experience on social media, writing, "Today, I took a dip in the Triveni Sangam at Tirthraj Prayag, seeking the happiness, prosperity, and well-being of three crore people of Chhattisgarh.

Mahakumbh is a grand festival of divinity and spiritual energy in Sanatan Dharma, where faith transforms into nectar and unites the soul with the divine."

Chhattisgarh Assembly speaker Dr Raman Singh emphasized the privilege of participating in the Mahakumbh, saying, "It is a matter of great fortune for Chhattisgarh that under the leadership of our Chief Minister, we along with the Governor, ruling party MLAs, and even opposition MLAs have come together to take this sacred bath.  Mahakumbh is a blessing for the peace, prosperity, and well-being of our state.
