Cancellation of VIP Passes: All VIP and VVIP privileges were canceled to ensure equal access and reduce congestion caused by special protocols.
Enhanced Security and Personnel Deployment:
Additional security personnel from various paramilitary forces like the Indo-Tibetan Border Police (ITBP), Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF), Special Security Force (SSF), and Border Security Force were deployed following a request from the state government.
Administrative Advisories:
He urged devotees to take their holy dip at the nearest ghat instead of rushing towards the Sangam Nose, where the stampede occurred, to disperse the crowd more evenly across available areas.
Adityanath also advised devotees not to heed rumors, emphasizing that the situation was under control but acknowledged the high pressure due to the massive crowd.
Rumors and Public Communication: He made public appeals via social media and press briefings to maintain calm, not spread or believe rumors, and follow administrative guidelines closely.
These measures reflect an effort to enhance safety, manage crowds more effectively, and ensure a smoother experience for the millions of devotees attending the Maha Kumbh Mela.
