Preparations in full swing for Nashik Kumbh Mela

Nashik, May 23 (UNI) Preparations for the upcoming Simhastha Kumbh Mela in Nashik are in full swing and since the city will witness a massive rush of devotees, planning is underway to create various facilities and set up a security network, said deputy chairman of the Maharashtra Legislative Council Neelam Gorhe at a press conference on Friday.
Gorhe arrived at the Revenue Commissioner's office here to review the safety, cleanliness and other issues concerning women and children during the Kumbh Mela.
Revenue commissioner Dr Praveen Gedam and officials from various departments attended the briefing.
Gorhe said a few cases were reported during the Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh, a few months ago. "A thorough planning is, therefore, being done to ensure that incidents such as a stampede do not happen during the Nashik Kumbh Mela.
"Careful planning is being done for women, small children, and disabled devotees coming to the Mela. Separate bathing rooms and safe rooms for changing clothes will be set up for women. Separate space will be provided for women's akhadas," Gorhe said.
Adequate police force, health-related facilities, CCTV cameras on main roads, ambulances, dissemination of information in various languages will be arranged.
"There are many ancient temples in Nashik city. A book will be published to record their importance, so that devotees coming from outside the state can know about it. Various social organizations will present religious sermons, satsangs, and religious programmes. Local artists too will be provided a platform and their art will get space," Gorhe said.
