Prayagraj (Uttar Pradesh) [India], November 4 (HBTV): In preparation for Mahakumbh 2025, the Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s government has introduced special tracksuits for drivers, boatmen, guides, and cart operators at the Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj.

These special uniforms will make service providers easily identifiable, ensuring that tourists can quickly locate and approach them for assistance, thereby contributing to a smoother and more organized Mahakumbh experience.

To ensure essential services are accessible during the busy Mahakumbh Mela, the administration has introduced distinct tracksuits for four key groups: drivers, boatmen, guides, and cart operators. Each group will wear a different uniform, making it easier for visitors to identify and approach them for assistance.

The tracksuits will also display the Kumbh and Tourism Department logos, helping confirm the identity of service providers and maintaining transparency in the information and help offered to visitors. The administration believes this system will reduce confusion and enhance the overall experience for devotees.

With millions attending the Mahakumbh each year, organizing such a large event is a significant challenge.

The tracksuit initiative aims to enhance visitor convenience and safety, making it easier for tourists to find the help they need throughout the fair.

Aparajita Singh, Regional Tourism Officer, said, "In Mahakumbh 2025, drivers, sailors, guides, and cart operators will wear special tracksuits, each featuring the Tourism and Kumbh logos. The special uniforms will not only add visual appeal but also make it easier for visitors to identify and approach service providers."

To ensure the smooth progression of the Nagar Pravesh Yatra, the Uttar Pradesh government and the Kumbh administration have deployed a robust police presence. Additional Kumbh Mela Officer Vivek Chaturvedi oversaw security arrangements, which included four circle officers, six inspectors, nine sub-inspectors, and 40 police personnel dedicated to maintaining traffic flow and ensuring public safety.

The Nagar Pravesh Yatra attracted over a thousand saints, with notable participation from female saints from both India and abroad.

Maha Mandaleshwar Hema Nand Giri from Nepal expressed her appreciation for the arrangements, highlighting the exceptional opportunity of having Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath lead the preparations. She remarked, "His commitment to organizing a grand and divine Maha Kumbh has greatly contributed to the propagation of Sanatan Dharma beyond our borders."

Mahakumbh begins with Paush Purnima Snan on January 13, 2025. The Kumbh festival will conclude with the last bath on February 26, 2025, the day of Mahashivratri.
