After the sacred Mahakumbh bath in Prayagraj, devotees are encountering severe hardships in returning home. Thousands have been waiting at Nehru Park Bus Stand and Prayagraj Junction for hours, hoping for buses and trains that never seem to arrive. The absence of adequate transportation is leading to rising frustration. Devotees report a lack of guidance and a smoothly functioning administration.
Facing Hurdles Returning from Prayagraj
Dayanand Chaudhary, a pilgrim from Delhi, shared his ordeal: he's been at the bus stand since 3:00 AM without any means to return home. He explained that buses are operating only for Kumbh bath goers, leaving returnees stranded. Neither train services nor bus transport is available from the rail station or bus stand. Many were informed that buses might be available after 4:00 PM.
