Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath asked all pilgrims on Sunday to maintain cleanliness and contribute constructively to the ongoing Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj.
He also underlined the significance of parking in specific areas to guarantee a smooth experience for all pilgrims visiting the great Kumbh Mela.
The Chief Minister urged saints, ashrams, and religious and social organisations to uphold the tradition of bhandara and prasad distribution, ensuring that all pilgrims benefit from these precious offerings.
“An appeal is made to all the revered saints, ashrams, and various religious and social organisations to continue the sacred system of distributing food (bhandara) and prasad without interruption so that all devotees can benefit from it. Maintaining cleanliness in the Maha Kumbh is the responsibility of every individual. All devotees are urged to follow cleanliness themselves and inspire others to do the same,” CM’s post on X in Hindi (translated to English) reads.
In another post on X, the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister said: “Dear devotees. The Maha Kumbh is a huge religious celebration in which people from all over the country and the world are eager to participate. In such a case, everyone’s good cooperation can help to ensure the event’s success. All devotees are asked not to park their vehicles on the highways but rather to use the allotted parking areas, ensuring that everyone has an easy opportunity to take a holy dip in the hallowed Triveni.”
CM Yogi Adityanath also offered his condolences following the horrific stampede at New Delhi Railway Station on Saturday night, which killed 18 people. Addressing a public rally, the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister stated, “…An terrible incident occurred at New Delhi Railway Station yesterday. I extend my heartfelt condolences to all those who died.
According to official data, more than 1.36 crore devotees had taken the holy dip by 6 p.m. on Sunday. So far, 51.47 crore people have taken part in the Maha Kumbh.
