Devotees Praise Yogi Government’s Arrangements At Maha Kumbh 2025

Devotees from across the country have showered praise on the arrangements made by the Yogi Adityanath-led Uttar Pradesh government for the Prayagraj Maha Kumbh 2025. Under the leadership of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, the administration has ensured that all essential services, including cleanliness, security, and crowd management, were well-executed.

Many visitors have remarked that the arrangements this year surpass those of previous Kumbh and Maha Kumbh festivals. From the infrastructure to the conduct of security personnel, the improvements were evident. Devotees have highlighted the helpful and friendly nature of police and paramilitary forces, contributing to a smooth and organized experience.
