Uttar Pradesh Minister AK Sharma on Tuesday visited Ganga Ghats at Arail Ghat in Prayagraj, ahead of Mauni Amawasya. The minister took cognizance of the preparations made by the authorities at bathing ghats for devotees. According to the reports, more than 10 crore footfall is expected on Mauni Amavasya.

Talking to the media, AK Sharma said, " We are expecting 10-12 crore people in Prayagraj tomorrow. We have made all arrangements including a traffic management system, AI-enabled cameras, water ATMs, clean toilets etc. The pilgrims must remember where they have parked their vehicles, then find out the ghat nearest to them and remain together as a group."

Sharma has been deployed by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath to monitor arrangements at Kumbh and direct officials if anything is needed.

The UP Minister also visited Prayagraj last week. At that time, he directed officials to make proper arrangements for traffic management and crowd control and utilize technology to ensure a smooth experience for all the devotees.
