In big events like Mahakumbh, crowd management is a big challenge. Due to people’s fear and the importance of taking bath in Sangam, lakhs of people gather together, which can sometimes become the cause of mismanagement. Such incidents have happened many times, news of a similar incident is also coming in the Kumbh Mela being held in Prayagraj on the occasion of Mauni Amavasya.

Akhil Bharatiya Akhada Parishad’s appeal is very sensible that people should take bath wherever they see the holy Ganga on reaching Sangam. This will not only reduce the pressure of the crowd but will also help in avoiding stampede like incidents.

But the administration should also take more strict crowd control measures so that such incidents do not take place. Security and crowd management should get top priority in events like Kumbh. What do you think, how can this situation be handled better?
