Amit Shah takes holy dip at Sangam in Maha Kumbh Mela

Prayagraj/IBNS: Union home minister Amit Shah on Monday took a holy dip at Sangam in Maha Kumbh Mela in Uttar Pradesh's Prayagraj.

Shah took a dip and performed the rituals in holy water along with several saints.

The home minister was accompanied by chief minister Yogi Adityanath, who is also a Hindu monk.

The Maha Kumbh began on January 13. It will continue till February 26.

On last Friday and Saturday, over one and a quarter crore devotees bathed at Sangam.

The crowd is expected to swell significantly, with an estimated 10 crore devotees anticipated to take a dip on the day of Mauni Amavasya. To ensure a seamless experience for the devotees, the fair administration and Kumbh police have implemented extensive preparations.

To maintain order and ensure smooth movement, the entire fair area has been declared a no-vehicle zone. Rapid progress is being made to install barricades along the banks of the Sangam to manage the crowd effectively.

Special arrangements have been made across all sectors and zones to facilitate the movement of devotees. No special protocol will be applicable during the Amrit Snan festival to prioritize public convenience.
