Prayagraj: As many as 10 to 12 crore people are expected in Mahakumbh on January 29 for Mauni Amawasya, said reports on Tuesday. Uttar Pradesh Minister AK Sharma today inspected bathing ghats at Arail Ghat in Prayagraj, ahead of Mauni Amawasya tomorrow. The Minister said,” We are expecting 10-12 crore people in Prayagraj tomorrow. We have made all arrangements including a traffic management system, AI-enabled cameras, water ATMs, clean toilets etc.” He further added that, “The pilgrims must remember where they have parked their vehicles, then find out the ghat nearest to them and remain together as a group.” On security arrangements for Mahakumbh 2025, Prayagraj SSP GRP Abhishek said, “On the occasion of Mauni Amavasya, a large number of special trains are being run by the Railways.” The SSP also said, “A large number of police forces, paramilitary squads, dog squads, bomb squads and various other teams have been deployed, who have been on continuous duty at all the railway stations since the beginning of Kumbh.” In a public meeting earlier today, UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath said, “The previous governments did not respect the public, the saints and the faith of the devotees. That is why these events were victims of mismanagement, disorder and anarchy.” He further lamented that, “People could not attend (Kumbh). The government did not provide any facilities. The double-engine government is not only benefiting the development of Uttar Pradesh but also (strengthening) the heritage of Uttar Pradesh.” In an official Instagram post by Uttar Pradesh Tourism, “On the sacred day of Mauni Amavasya, the holy waters of the Sangam transform into a celestial blessing. Taking a dip here isn’t just a ritual — it’s a spiritual awakening, believed to cleanse sins and guide the soul toward ‘moksha’. Join the divine confluence this January 29!”
