If CM Yogi is to be believed, the situation in Prayagraj is under control, but there is still a lot of crowd. It is being told that there are still about 8 to 9 crore people in Prayagraj.
7. By 10 am today, about 4 crore devotees have taken a bath. This process is still going on. However, there is constant pressure on Sangam Nose, Akhada Marg, and Nag Vasuki Marg. The administration is ready for the convenience of the devotees. The Yogi government has asked not to pay attention to anyrumorss. Also, bathers have been appealed that wherever you are, temporary ghats have been built within a radius of about 15 to 20 kilometers, and you can take a bath anywhere in them. It is not necessary to come towards Sangam Nose only.
8. Now to control the crowd of devotees on the Sangam coast, the CRPF and Rapid Action Force team along with the police have taken charge. These teams have left for the Akhara route. Not only this, Mahakumbh Mela DIG Vaibhav Krishna has also inspected the route coming from the Akhara. Only after this, it will be decided at what time the Amrit Snan of the Akharas will take place today.

The situation is now normal in Sangamnagari. The security arrangements of the police are tight. A crowdd diversion plan has been implemented to control the crowd. CM Yogi himself is keeping an eye on every moment.
10. According to the tradition of Kumbh Mela, Sanyasi, Bairagi and Udasi Akharas reach the Sangam banks in a grand procession and take Amrit Snan in a fixed order in which Panchayati Akhara Mahanirvani takes Amrit Snan first in the order. Triveni Sangam - the confluence of Ganga, Yamuna, and Saraswati - is considered the most sacred by Hindus. It is believed that taking a dip in it during Maha Kumbh and especially on special bathing dates like Mauni Amavasya washes away people's sins and gives them salvation.
