CM Yogi Launches Digital App for Magh Mela Pilgrims
The Magh Mela is a big event where many people go to pray and celebrate.
To make things easier for the visitors, the Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Yogi Adityanath, launched a special app called the Magh Mela Service App.
This app helps people who are visiting the Mela to get information and solve any problems they might have.
For example, if someone has an issue, they can scan a QR code on an electricity pole, fill out a form, and send it to the Mela administration.
The administration will then send a team to fix the problem.
This is the first time such a digital service has been introduced at the Magh Mela, making it more convenient for everyone.
Additionally, the Chief Minister participated in the 726th manifestation festival of Jagadguru Ramanandacharya Ji, emphasizing the importance of unity and the protection of Sanatan Dharma.
He also reviewed the preparations for the Magh Mela, ensuring that all major bathing rituals will be conducted smoothly with the help of technology and strong coordination.
Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath launched the Magh Mela Service App in Prayagraj.
The app provides digital guidance and problem resolution for pilgrims visiting the Magh Mela.
QR codes on electricity poles allow devotees to report issues to the Mela administration.
The Mela administration will address and resolve the reported issues promptly.
This is the first time such a digital facility has been introduced at the Magh Mela.
