The Maha Kumbh began on Monday with crores of devotees taking a dip in the Triveni Sangam. Millions of devotees gathered at Prayagraj on Monday as the Maha Kumbh Mela began with the Paush Purnima bathing festival. “In just the first one-and-a-half hours, our civil defence teams managed to bring back around 200 to 250 individuals to their families,” Nitesh Kumar Dwivedi — a warden with Uttar Pradesh Civil Defence — told PTI Videos on Monday morning. The UP government has implemented several several crowd-control initiatives to manage the enormous gathering — including 'Bhula-Bhatka' camps, police assistance centres and deployment of personnel on specially constructed watchtowers. Loudspeakers placed along the ghats are also being used to announce the names of missing people while police and civil defence personnel actively assist pilgrims on the ground.
