UPSRTC Set To Transport Devotees To Mahakumbh For Basant Panchami Snan

With the Basant Panchami bathing festival scheduled for Monday, a massive influx of devotees and tourists is gathering on the sacred banks of Triveni in Prayagraj for the Maha Kumbh.

Considering the huge gathering, the Uttar Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (UPSRTC) has arranged a dedicated shuttle and reserved bus fleet to ensure the devotees’ safe and orderly return.

Notably, by the evening of February 2, approximately 35 crore people had taken a holy dip in Triveni. The Yogi government remains fully committed to managing their seamless return.

The largest allocation is 1,500 buses at Jhunsi, followed by 600 at Bela Kachhar for Lucknow-bound passengers, 300 at Nehru Park for Kanpur-bound travelers, and 100 at the Leprosy bus station for those heading to Mirzapur and Banda.

Additionally, 550 shuttle buses will operate every two minutes to facilitate the movement of devotees between the temporary bus stations and key locations near Mahakumbh. Special measures have been implemented to prevent overcrowding, ensuring a hassle-free experience for all visitors
