Mahakumbh: It has been five days since the Maha Kumbh started. During this time, more than 7 crore people have taken a dip of faith in the Sangam.
The India Meteorological Department (IMD) has issued an Orange alert for Uttar Pradesh’s Prayagraj for today and Thursday, where the Mahakumbh is underway. IMD scientist Soma Sen Roy told ANI,”There is a possibility of rain and fog conditions today in southeast UP, where the Kumbh Mela is currently going on. Even if the fog is not too dense, its impact will be high, and because of this, we have issued an Orange alert for today and tomorrow in this area.”
“There is a possibility that temperatures will drop by 2-3° C in the next 2 to 3 days and fog conditions could increase in northwest India, causing dense fog in Punjab, Haryana, north UP, and Delhi on 17-18 January. Temperatures will fall in Delhi from tomorrow morning onwards and fog will prevail moderate to dense on 17 and 18,” the scientist told
Congress MPs Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka will also come to Maha Kumbh. Both the Congress leaders will take the blessings of Shankaracharya and saints after the bath. There are a total of 6 baths in Maha Kumbh, out of which three are Amrit baths. The first Amrit bath has been done, in which more than three and a half crore people took a dip.
Meanwhile, the BJP’s Uttar Pradesh unit leaders distributed copies of the Constitution among the sanitation workers at the Maha Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj on Thursday. They said the religious congregation at Prayagraj is a great celebration of unity, something that the Constitution guarantees.
BJP, which has launched “Samvidhan Gaurav Abhiyan” — a nationwide campaign to celebrate 75 years of the Indian Constitution — is felicitating Dalits across the state as part of this initiative.
