After stampede-like scenes at Prayagraj's Mahakumbh on Mauni Amavasya, Uttar Pradesh CM Yogi Adityanath declared the situation "under control." The chaos, caused by devotees crossing barricades, left some injured. Despite the heavy rush of nearly 10 crore attendees, the 'Amrit Snan' continues. Adityanath emphasized the administration's efforts, with PM Modi and Union Ministers closely monitoring the situation. Advanced safety measures, including 2,700 AI-powered cameras and 1,000 police officers, were in place. Religious gatherings, like this, remain challenging for crowd control. Mauni Amavasya, a holy day for a purifying dip at Triveni Sangam, witnessed record attendance.
