Vaibhav Krishna, the Deputy Inspector General of Police (DIG) for Maha Kumbh, said that 140 social media accounts that shared false information had been the subject of 13 FIRs. Additionally, he gave his word that all preparations had been completed by the police for the next Maha Shivratri celebration on February 26, 2025.

“140 social media accounts that posted deceptive material have been the subject of 13 FIRs… Vaibhav Krishna told ANI, “Over a crore people have taken a holy dip today.”

“Everything is set up for the next Shivratri celebration… Everywhere throughout the Mahakumbh region, efforts will be taken to guarantee that there is no traffic congestion. Everything should go according to plan. We are completely ready, regardless of the size of the gathering,” he said.

During Sunday’s ongoing Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj, many pilgrims took a holy bath at the revered Triveni Sangam.

Nearly 8.773 million individuals have taken the holy plunge as of Sunday, according to the Uttar Pradesh government’s information department.

Yogi Adityanath, the chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, said that 620 million devotees came to Prayagraj for the Mahakumbh mela. To guarantee efficient administration and security, the Mahakumbh Mela officials have put in place stringent crowd control measures at the Ayodhya Dham Railway Station.

There will likely be a huge inflow of believers at the next Maha Shivratri celebration.

Devotees may only go to the platform when the train comes, according to Deputy Superintendent of Police Yashwant Singh, who spoke to ANI.

“Ahead of the Mahakumbh’snan’ on Maha Shivratri, we are more vigilant. Here, more security has been put in place, and there are now over 350 people in all. The whole area has been barricaded. Passengers are being taken to a holding facility that has been put up,” DSP Singh said.

“To keep trains informed, we are issuing announcements on a frequent basis. Only when their train reaches the platform will they be allowed admission. We’re making sure there aren’t more users on the platform than it can handle. “Everything is set up,” he continued.

Thousands of devotees still go to Prayagraj’s Maha Kumbh to take a sacred bath. On February 26, which is Maha Shivratri, the last significant bath will be held.
