Mahakumbh Mela feedback
World's largest human gathering for Maha Kumbh . Security, cleanliness efforts, Toilets and changing rooms for women are appreciable. But
1. There should have been entry in Prayagraj only after registration and only that many should have been registered for each time slot which can comfortably be accommodated.
2. There are only two bridges for traffic, one of which is reserved exclusively for VIPs and emergency vehicles. More bridges for traffic should be built for future.
4. Foot overbridges for pedestrians should be constructed at all road crossings. Pedastrians crossing the roads otherwise is leading to long traffic jams.
5. Ropes should be tied on footpath edges so that pedestrians do not walk on roads and there are no accidents and traffic jams because of that.
6. More pedestrian bridges should be made up to Triveni ghat / Sangam Nose point.
7. Drinking water dispensers should be installed in the entire area after every 1 km.
8. Prepaid auto / rickshaw / boat stands should be there at several convenient locations.
9. There should be control on pricing of auto / rickshaw / boat and other things and a dedicated call centre to address complaints related to any violations.
10. Information desks and maps should be there after every 2 kms in 10 kms. radius. more

the whole of Ganges and Yamanu ghats especiaaly at down steam side of ganges should be declared as Sangam Nose as it is the fruit of all the three rivers .big hoardingat those places will also be placed there as sangam Nose so that people are satisfied even bathing there . therefore for all the whole of ganges at Praygraj should be treated as Sangam ghat to reduce congestion at one place . VVIPs and so call VIPs are not be allowed during maha snan dates and nearby dates and all bridges to be allowed for genearl public . more

While all the points are well made out, remember this Tsunami was unthinkable. If the number of 43 crores is real, remember it’s close to nearly 1/3rd of the countries population. I am sure no one was able to imagine the same. Also no execution of infrastructure planned, can happed till 4 months before the start, since the high water level and the final direction of the river flow is unknown. Added is FOMO, the visitors at the beginning and the same towards the middle, just doesn’t make sense. No body can plan for a tsunami, and yes the only way forward is to take registration in advance more

Some responses to your suggestions - 1. Registration of every person is impossible when there are crores of people congregating at the same time. 9. I think there are controls on pricing of various services. But, in such a large gathering, some unscrupulous people do take liberties and cheat people. Strict implementation is the key. 10. Yes, maps are a critical need. We had to walk 5+ km each way from Sector 8 to Sangam Nose Point and back. Had there been a detailed map available, we could have saved a few km of trek. Even so, we enjoyed the ambience and the long, long walk. more
