Accompanied by Railway Board Chairman Satish Kumar and senior officials, Vaishnav began his tour at Jhunsi station around 1 PM

To accommodate millions of devotees expected at the Maha Kumbh 2025, the UPSTDC is creating a luxury tent city in Sector 20 (Arail).

The Uttar Pradesh Fire Department has intensified its fire prevention and safety awareness campaigns to ensure a secure Maha Kumbh.

The Maha Kumbh will debut all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) for quick fire safety responses and navigating crowded lanes.

Addressing societal challenges, Acharya Pramod Krishnam urged people to identify divisive forces, referring to them as "Jaichands" who hinder national unity. He expressed a firm commitment to protecting Sanatan Dharma and fostering national unity

The fight reportedly started between the sadhus of 13 Akharas. They had gathered for a meeting before an inspection of the land allocations. Mahant Rajendra Das of Nirmohi Akhara got into a physical confrontation with another sadhu

Dhirendra Shastri also suggested that non-Hindus should not attend the event, referencing a song to underscore his view: “When non-Hindus are not with Lord Ram, then what is their work in Maha Kumbh?”

The entrance ceremony was filled with enthusiasm as an entourage of Naga sadhus, bearing saffron flags, made its way to the Kumbh Mela region

Among these transformations, the revival of the Dwadash Madhav Parikrama stands out. The circumambulation ritual, closed since 1991, was reinstated in the 2019 Kumbh by CM Yogi’s directive, following the suggestion of Akhil Bharatiya Akhara Parishad leaders

To enhance healthcare, the government will provide advanced diagnostics, including X-rays, MRIs, and lab tests. Temporary high-tech hospitals will be set up with a capacity to handle 10 lakh outpatient department (OPD) visits and 10,000 inpatient department (IPD) admissions
