Prayagraj -- In a significant move ahead of the Maha Kumbh Mela in 2025, the Uttar Pradesh government, led by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, has declared the Maha Kumbh area in Prayagraj as a new district. This decision aims to streamline the management and administration of the grand religious event, scheduled for January 2025.

The Maha Kumbh Mela district has been newly formed. The decision, announced on Sunday, had been previously indicated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath during the Magh Mela 2024.

The move is expected to ensure smoother administrative work and better management of the Kumbh Mela, one of the largest religious gatherings in the world.
