Nearly a week before the stampede on Mauni Amavasya, the Uttar Pradesh government had declared that the Mahakumbh area in Prayagraj would be a no-vehicle and no VIP zone from 27th to 30th January.
A fire broke out near sector 19 at the Mahakumbh tent city. An explosion in gas cylinders reportedly caused the fire. CM Yogi reached at the site to assess the situation.
Uttar Pradesh Tourism is set to mesmerize attendees at Mahakumbh 2025 with a spectacular drone show, showcasing mythological tales linked to the Mahakumbh and Prayagraj.
