Prayagraj: Without flinching due to the stampede of the previous day, devotees continued in Maha Kumbh on Thursday, a day later Mauni Amavasya. More than 1.7 million devotees had bathed in Sangam on Thursday afternoon, and the number reached around 2 million rupees at the end of the day. Mela’s administration continued to operate shuttle buses and remained on alert while ensuring that the devotees did not face any inconvenience.
From early Thursday, several devotees waiting in Ashray Sthal (large waiting areas), retention areas and open land, began to move towards the Mela area. Unlike Wednesday, for those who chose to walk, it was a relatively straight path to the mela, without deviations. The same enthusiasm was seen in the faces of the devotees even though many of them had seen, or at least heard of the unfortunate stampede.
“Gango Maiya Sabko Bulawat Hain to Sabhi Jaa Rahe Hain, Unki Marzi Ke Bina Koi Nahi Jaa Sakat Hai (she is a mother who calls us all, nobody can go unless she wishes), “Kamlai said 66 years of Kaushambi in the top.
However, on Thursday, the number of devotees returning from the mela and advancing towards the railway stations surpassed those who were heading towards him. All roads in locations such as civil lines, Katra Shivkuti, or those in the old city such as Kydganj, Mutthiganj and Bahadurganj, saw a great participation of devotees, but there was enough space for everyone. While some managed to take a Trolley-Rickshaw walk or with local cyclists, many reached the transport buses that the administration deployed in all temporary bus stalls at the entrance points to the city and in the railway stations.
Umesh, one of the devotees without flinching, said: “Now that I left my house with the desire to bathe in Sangam along with my older parents, I will not return, either a stampe To all “.
Mikesh Bhagat, who traveled from Nagpur with his family, said that while it was difficult for him to reach Kila Ghat from Arail’s side due to the great crowd, at the time he took a dip in the Sacred River, he felt a wave new energy. Similarly, Ghanshyam, who arrived from Panipat to bathe in Sangam Nariz, said that participating in this sacred event was not only the result of his own actions, but also the blessings and virtues of his ancestors.
