UP police will be using underwater drones, providing real-time surveillance, especially when millions of devotees throng the ghats to take a dip at the Sangam, the confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna and the Saraswati rivers.
The Maha Kumbh Mela, held every 12 years, is set to begin on January 13 and will go on till February 26.
Akhil Bhartiya Akhada Parishad chief Mahant Ravindra Puri said that although they don't have "any enmity" with the Muslims, they cannot set up shops during the Maha Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj as it would "corrupt religion".
"They shouldn't set up grocery shops, juice shops, food stalls and tea shops, as they spit on the food deliberately."
Citing examples of "Hindu-Muslim unity" in the preparations for the Maha Kumbh, he said that Muslim bands were included in the cantonment entry of the Niranjani Akhada into the Maha Kumbh Mela. He further said that the contractor who built the mutt of the Akhil Bhartiya Akhada Parishad was also a Muslim.
Iqbal Ahmed, the owner of the Azad Band, which was included in the cantonment entry, said that it was a great fortune for him to be included in the festivities of the Maha Kumbh Mela.
Underwater drones, AI-powered cameras: UP Police goes hi-tech for Mahakumbh 2025
In a first, the authorities will be using underwater drones, providing real-time surveillance, especially when millions of devotees throng the ghats to take a dip at the Sangam.
To ensure the smooth and secure functioning of the Mahakumbh, the Uttar Pradesh Police has deployed nearly 30,000 police personnel from 70 districts.
To keep track of the crores of people, the police have taken the help of technology, installing 2,700 Artificial Intelligence-powered cameras.
Maybe the way food is made by Muslims has become all too open off late. Actually we never gave a thought to this aspect let's say just 10-15 years ago but, with the expose of the prevalence of illegal jizya tax in India then the Muslim traders or consumers of meat demanded halal verification on everything related to food , the fear of food corruption is very much there. Actually the practice of making halal certified food is totally unacceptable. We Hindus don't eat our own jhutan. To make others eat our jhutan is beyond comprehension. In a Hindu family we may probably eat leftover from our children's plates but not vice versa. - K P bhai
