The Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Yogi Adityanath, has issued a remarkable statement concerning the Mahakumbh. He rebuked a statement by SP leader Akhilesh Yadav, claiming those who spread negativity are the ones who have always enjoyed the government's VVIP treatment. They consistently stand against India and Sanatan Dharma, engaging in malicious propaganda. Meanwhile, the Yogi government has issued strict instructions to improve the traffic plan for Magh Purnima bathing at the Prayagraj Mahakumbh.
According to an official statement, commencing February 11, the Kumbh Mela area will be a 'No Vehicle Zone', with designated parking for external vehicles. Starting at 5:00 PM on February 11, the 'No Vehicle Zone' will be enforced in Prayagraj city. The traffic restrictions will remain in effect in Prayagraj from 5:00 PM on February 11 until February 12. Traffic restrictions will also apply to the vehicles of Kalpavasis. Authorities have appealed for public cooperation to ensure the organized completion of the Magh Purnima bath.
