Everyone's participation necessary for success of Simhastha Kumbh Mela: Maha minister

Nashik, Mar 28 (UNI) On the lines of recent Maha Kumbh Mela, everyone's participation is necessary for success of the Simhastha Kumbh Mela to be held in the year 2027, said Maharashtra Water Resources Minister Girish Mahajan on Friday.
Speaking at the Simhastha Kumbh Mela 2027 meeting organised at the district collector's office here, he said that the joint efforts and cooperation of everyone is needed to make upcoming Kumbh Mela safe.
Considering the number of devotees at the Kumbh Mela held in Prayagraj, there is a possibility of 3 to 4 times more crowd in Nashik and Trimbakeshwar as compared to the previous Kumbh Mela, he noted.
Also, it will be held during the monsoon season at that time, stricter security planning will have to be done to prevent any untoward incident, he stressed.
Mahajan also said that plans are underway to provide alternative water storage to keep the water in the riverbed clean and flowing for the Mahants and devotees during the Kumbh Parvani period.
The government is making efforts to provide all the necessary facilities to the Sadhus and Mahants and there will be no shortage of funds for this, he added.
