Under the dynamic leadership of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, Prayagraj is witnessing a rapid transformation in preparation for the upcoming Maha Kumbh 2025. The pace of development has picked up across Kumbh city, as well as along the ghats of the Ganga, Yamuna, and Sangam.

In line with CM Yogi's vision, the district administration is working diligently to complete the city's beautification and development projects by November 15. Meanwhile, the fair administration is tasked with finalizing all preparations for the fair area by December 15.

With the water level of the Ganga receding, preparations for the Maha Kumbh 2025 have gained momentum. Land leveling in the fair area is progressing rapidly, and electricity poles are being erected throughout the site. Workers are engaged in laying cables and installing lights, while construction of the fair authority's main office has begun at the parade ground. 

Security measures are also ramping up, with police personnel already stationed in the area. Barracks have been constructed for the police, and officers are currently undergoing training to ensure safety during the event.

The Public Works Department (PWD) has started constructing pontoon bridges. As the Ganga's water level continues to recede, the pace of this work will increase. 

Currently, two pontoon bridges are being built on Old GT Road, one on Gangoli Shivalaya Marg and the other on Harischandra Marg Ghat. In total, 30 pontoon bridges will be constructed for the event.

In the city, beautification projects are in full swing, including wall painting and the improvement of intersections. Major roads are being reconstructed, with most already completed. Roads around the ghats have also been built to ensure smooth traffic and easy access for devotees.

More than 10,000 organizations will set up tents across the 4,200-hectare fair area, with over one lakh tents planned. Special arrangements will be made for Kalpvasis in areas like Khak Chowk, Dandibara, Acharya Bada, and Prayagwal, ensuring they have everything they need during the event.

According to Additional Kumbh Mela Officer Vivek Chaturvedi, CM Yogi Adityanath has issued clear instructions to ensure that all preparations for the Maha Kumbh are completed on schedule so that Kalpvasis, devotees, and tourists attending the event do not face any difficulties. In line with his directive, the ongoing work is progressing at a rapid pace, and all tasks are expected to be finished well before the deadline.
