Thousands of pilgrims are stranded in long traffic jams on roads leading to Prayagraj after Uttar Pradesh imposed a traffic ban to ease congestion at the Maha Kumbh Mela. The measures, which include sealing city borders and banning vehicles, follow a deadly stampede that killed 30 people and injured 60. Devotees, including women and children, are facing severe hardships, with no food, water, or shelter. Despite efforts to provide aid, many are forced to sleep in the open or walk long distances. The restrictions will remain in effect until February 4.
