On Thursday, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath visited Prayagraj to evaluate preparations for the upcoming Maha Kumbh. He toured various akharas, engaged with sadhus, and assessed the infrastructure at the Sangam ghat area while taking a ride on the 'Nishadraj' cruise.

Accompanied by officials, CM Adityanath closely examined the security and safety measures in place. Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Brajesh Pathak highlighted the deployment of 125 ambulances, equipped with 15 Advanced Life Support (ALS) systems, air ambulances, and seven river ambulances, ensuring comprehensive emergency response protocols.

In anticipation of the grand religious event, Swami Avimukteshwaranand Saraswati, a prominent spiritual leader, praised the Chief Minister for his direct involvement and proactive efforts to facilitate a successful congregation. With the Maha Kumbh occurring after 12 years, an estimated 45 crore devotees are expected to converge at the sacred confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna, and Saraswati rivers for the Shahi Snan, with main rituals slated for January 14, January 29, and February 3.
