Nashik Plans Routes, Monitoring and Holding Areas for Kumbh Mela

Many devotees are expected to visit Nashik and Trimbakeshwar for the upcoming Kumbh Mela.

Officials are planning ways to keep people safe and help them move around.

Different paths will be used for entering and leaving busy places.

If an area gets too crowded, people may be sent to another route or a waiting area.

Cameras, drones and screens will help officials see and share what is happening.

Parking and shuttle buses will help keep private cars away from sensitive religious areas.

Emergency routes will be kept open for ambulances and other responders.

Officials will also plan for water, healthcare, sanitation and help for people who need assistance.
