CM Yogi to visit Maha Kumbh and review security arrangements
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath is set to visit Prayagraj on Tuesday to participate in various programmes and review security arrangements for the ongoing Maha Kumbh.
During his visit, the Chief Minister will offer prayers at Sangam Nose, Akshayvat, and Hanuman Temple. His visit coincides with the expected arrival of Bhutan’s King Jigme Khesar Namgyel Wangchuck, who will also participate in the grand religious gathering. CM Yogi will personally welcome him and oversee his visit.
The Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj has already seen around 35 crore devotees take a sacred dip at the Triveni Sangam. On Basant Panchami, massive crowds gathered for the Amrit Snan, with lakhs of devotees traveling from across the country.
Despite a recent stampede incident that claimed 30 lives and injured over 60 people, the enthusiasm among pilgrims remains strong. In response, security measures have been intensified, with CM Yogi closely monitoring the arrangements.
The heightened security was evident during the Basant Panchami Amrit Snan, where thousands of devotees took a peaceful and organized holy dip at the Sangam Nose. The Chief Minister had earlier conducted a high-level review meeting from his official residence to ensure smooth arrangements. With another large turnout expected today, he will assess the situation on-site.
According to the Media Centre of Mahakumbh 2025, CM Yogi’s schedule in Prayagraj includes multiple engagements. He is expected to arrive at 10:10 AM and perform rituals at key religious sites. He will also visit the Digital Mahakumbh Experience Centre in Sector 3 and inspect the Triveni Complex before concluding his tour. The Chief Minister is scheduled to depart for Lucknow at 3:15 PM.
Meanwhile, King Wangchuk is also expected to take a holy dip at the Maha Kumbh. CM Yogi will be present to receive him and oversee arrangements for his visit.
With lakhs of devotees expected to arrive, authorities are ensuring strict security measures and seamless organization to provide a safe and smooth experience for all attendees.
