The Kumbh Mela, the Maha Kumbh Mela as a host, witnessed the state of Uttar Pradesh with a 300-kilometre-long traffic jam as a result of the long queue of vehicles and plentitude of devotees who got trapped in the Maha Kumbh traffic. Stringent regulations for the elderly limit the numbers to tens of thousands, or in some cases to a hundred thousand, as autumns move to winter.
A large number of them will "fall" onto the roads and become the primary cause of congestion on the roads. They will have to navigate through a significant number of motorists who will have driven to the pilgrim's area, which will make parking more difficult.
The "comedy of errors" will intensify if the pedestrians who would have left their cars at bay do not get moving as well. On Sunday morning, thousands of cars were trapped in a monster snarlage as they hardly managed to crawl or roll further at a snail´s speed. Moreover, the road to the Civil Lines is fairly narrow.
The police of Maihar in Madhya Pradesh cited "impossibility" to move "towards Prayagraj" due to the fact that 200 to 300 kilometers of the road had been engulfed by the Prayagraj traffic jam. The eyewitnesses informed that there was a monstrous traffic jam across a 250-km stretch from Katni to MadhyaPradesh-Uttar Pradesh border in Rewa’s Chakghat. “Traffic Jam of 15 KM before Jabalpur… Still 400 KM to Prayagraj.
“Expected over 200 million people and many are delayed today as a result of traffic gridlock??," a user asked in a notification to mobile users. More than 43 million devotees have dipped during the routes to Maha Kumbh via road since it started on January 13.
The event will go on for 26 days until February 26. Samajwadi Party shared Punya Prabodhan’s video that led Akhilesh Yadav to comment, “Look at the video clip of Prayagraj Maha Kumbh and then tell me what emergency arrangements should be made by the Uttar Pradesh government for the plight of the whole hoards of stuck devotees.
