Safety measures strengthened for Mauni Amavasya

Wednesday, 29 January 2025 | PNS | Mahakumbh Nagar

As millions of devotees and tourists gather in Prayagraj for the Mauni Amavasya snan at Maha Kumbh on Wednesday, the meal administration and police have intensified safety measures to ensure a secure and comfortable experience for them. Devotees have also been urged to remain vigilant, steer clear of rumors, and report concerns promptly.

A dedicated team comprising the mela police, traffic police and specialised doctors has been deployed around the clock to assist devotees in case of emergencies.

Senior Superintendent of Police (Mahakumbhnagar) Rajesh Dwivedi, stated, “Robust arrangements have been made for the second Amrit Snan of Maha Kumbh, especially for Mauni Amavasya.”

He urged devotees to cooperate with the police, remain cautious and seek assistance. The police and administration are available 24x7 to support the devotees at Maha Kumbh, he added.

The devotees have been advised to take different lanes to reach Sangam ghat; stay in their lanes while going for a holy dip; after bathing and darshan, go straight to the parking; while going for darshan in temples, stay in their lane, and from there, leave for their destination; take the help of the police if needed; in case of any health-related problem, get themselves examined in the hospital set up in the nearest sector; be patient on the barricading and pontoon bridges, and avoid hurrying and jostling; use only paper, jute or eco-friendly utensils and kulhar.

What not to do: Devotees should not stop at one place together; under no circumstances should the devotees coming and going come face to face; ignore rumours; do not believe any confusion spread on social media; do not rush to visit temples; do not stop on roads instead of holding areas, and do not create any obstruction; avoid getting misled by anyone regarding arrangements or facilities; avoid spreading any kind of misleading news, not rush to take a holy bath.
