Lucknow: The Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh Yogi Adityanath on Sunday said that more than 1.49 crore devotees took a holy dip in the Triveni Sangam on Sunday during the ongoing Mahakumbh.
In a social media post in hindi, CM Yogi said, “More than 1.49 crore devotees have taken a holy dip in the Triveni Sangam today and more than 52.96 crore devotees so far at ‘Mahakumbh-2025, Prayagraj’, a living symbol of ‘One India-Great India-Inclusive India’.
CM Yogi added, “Congratulations to all revered saints and devotees who received the holy benefit of the holy bath today!”
Meanwhile, Chief Minister Yogi has appealed to the public to cooperate in ensuring smooth arrangements for Maha Kumbh 2025. He also urged the citizens to follow traffic regulations and not park their vehicles on the road.
CM Yogi’s appeal comes in the wake of massive traffic jams en route to Prayagraj. Several videos of jams surfaced on social media, showing long trails of vehicles and commuters facing distress and getting stuck in jams for hours.
In a post on X, CM Yogi said, “Maha Kumbh is a great festival of faith, in which people from all over the country and the world are excited to participate. Everyone’s positive cooperation can increase the success of this event manifold.”
“All the devotees are requested not to park their vehicles on the roads but to use the designated parking spaces so that everyone gets an easy opportunity to take a religious dip in the Triveni Sangam,” he added.
