MAHAKUMBH NAGAR (PRAYAGRAJ): Chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Tuesday emphasised that the safety and convenience of every pilgrim and tourist at Mahakumbh, be it Indians, foreigners, NRIs or residents of Prayagraj, is the government's foremost priority, without any discrimination.
He underscored the need for further strengthening of disaster management, cyber security, fire safety, ghat security, and emergency medical services during the mega fair, adding that all security agencies must remain vigilant and active 24/7. The CM said this during a meeting at the Integrated Command and Control Centre (ICCC) Auditorium in the Prayagraj Mela Authority to review preparations for the event.
Adityanath directed officials for effective deployment of anti-drone systems and called for raising public awareness on cyber threats, including identifying and taking action against fake websites and apps exploiting the Mahakumbh theme.
He also expressed concern over reports of fraudulent activities by groups/individuals collecting money in the name of Mahakumbh. The CM instructed the police to identify and take strict action against those involved in such frauds.
During his visit, the CM assessed the progress of work of all departments. He instructed authorities to expedite police verification of all street vendors, auto-rickshaw, and e-rickshaw drivers. Additionally, he emphasised the need for systematic traffic management on all inter-district routes leading to Prayagraj.
Adityanath also stressed on the importance of curbing fake news on social/digital media. He remarked that individuals opposed to Indian culture and tradition are spreading misinformation about the Mahakumbh and called for a strong response to counter such propaganda.
Kumbh Nagar DM Vijay Kiran Anand informed the CM that land allotment for all akharas, maha mandaleshwars, and other institutions has been completed.
