Strict security in Sangam area, traffic chaos in some other places

Prayagraj – The Police maintained strict security in the Sangam area. They fixed the route to be taken by the Akhadas and the devotees while moving towards the Sangam area, the place to take a bath, and the route of return. Although on one hand, they had deployed a huge contingent of Police force at every corner of the Sangam area, there were no traffic Police at many places, especially at the intersections of Triveni Marg, Kali Marg, Sangam Lower Marg, and Mukti Marg. While processions of Akhadas were passing through some of these routes, a huge crowd of devotees appeared stranded on both sides. As the Akhada vehicles could not cross the road, many places were full of a huge crowd, creating a stampede-like situation. Devotees were expressing displeasure over this inexcusable error in the traffic system.
