Speaking to the media, the Chief Minister confirmed that all preparations for the grand event will be completed a month before the scheduled time, on December 10.
Highlighting the rapid progress, CM Yogi said that the preparations are moving ahead with the war. Senior government and administrative officials have been conducting comprehensive reviews and evaluations of ongoing projects.

Reflecting on the success of previous events, he noted that the previous Kumbh had around 80,000 tents and 60,000 facilities. This year, the number of tents will double to 1.8 lakh, ensuring maximum capacity for travelers and organizations.
He also emphasized the importance of the event for devotees of Sanatan Dharma and followers of Indian culture, who respect Ganga and Prayagraj. Saints, as well as social and cultural organizations from all over the nation, are expected to participate. Extensive infrastructure development is underway in the Kumbh area and the city, with some projects scheduled to be completed by November 30 and others by December 10.
