UP DGP Prashant Kumar personally inspected the current preparations for the large religious gathering during a simulated exercise that Uttar Pradesh police units performed at many Mahakumbh Mela Nagar locations on Saturday.

Commando forces were seen practicing anti-terror operations and showcasing different security measures in support of their endeavors. Complete security preparations have been undertaken for the next Mahakumbh Mela in Prayagraj, according to Uttar Pradesh DGP Prashant Kumar on Saturday.

“Complete security arrangements have been made,” Uttar Pradesh DGP Prashant Kumar told media. CCTVs have been set up to monitor the whole region. Coordination across various departments is underway. Here, every care is being taken. Since 40 to 50 crore people would be taking a holy swim during Mahakumbh, we have accepted responsibility and provided the necessary arrangements.”
A large Shobha Yatra was conducted in Prayagraj earlier today by a number of Akharas. With sadhus clad in garlands, riding horses, and covered in sacred ash, the procession was a colorful demonstration of devotion.

The Mahakumbh, which takes place in Prayagraj once every twelve years, is set to start on January 13 and end on February 26. On January 14th (Makar Sankranti), January 29th (Mauni Amavasya), and February 3rd (Basant Panchami), the principal bathing ceremonies, called Shahi Snan (royal baths), will be held.

To improve security, Uttar Pradesh Police have placed 2,700 AI-enabled cameras and used underwater drones in and around the Mahakumbh camping region.

Prayagraj is ready for the Mahakumbh and anticipates more than 45 crore devotees to come, according to Uttar Pradesh Minister JPS Rathore.

Prayagraj has been ready to receive visitors to the Mahakumbh. The Kumbh has been set up and outfitted with technology this time. Over 45 crore pilgrims are anticipated to attend the Maha Kumbh. After conferring with the sages and seers, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath dubbed the “Shahi Snan” “Amrit Snan.” We shall all be privileged to witness the several saints and sages who will be there,” Rathore told the reporters.

Over the course of 45 days, the Uttar Pradesh Culture Department will erect 20 miniature stages at strategic points around Prayagraj to provide visitors, pilgrims, and residents a chance to experience the nation’s rich cultural legacy. On these stages, folk dances from different Indian states will be presented.
