MAHAKUMBH NAGAR: The third ‘Amrit Snan’ at the Maha Kumbh proceeded smoothly on Monday with lakhs of people taking a dip on the occasion of Basant Panchmi and akharas resuming the grand processions curtailed last week when a stampede killed at least 30 people.
By 8 am, over 62.25 lakh devotees had taken the ritual dip at the Sangam, the confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna and mythical Saraswati. The figure swelled to over 2.57 crore till 8 pm, according to the Uttar Pradesh government.
After the stampede that broke out at the Sangam on ‘Mauni Amavasya’ (January 29), the state government mounted up safety measures with Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath directing officials to adopt a ‘zero-error’ approach.
