Preparations for Mahakumbh 2025, the world’s largest religious gathering, are in full swing in Prayagraj, with government officials working round the clock to ensure everything is on track. Throughout the day, officials focus on critical planning tasks in their offices, while late into the night, they conduct on-ground inspections to monitor progress in development and construction activities.

Any issues that arise are being promptly addressed, with immediate instructions given to resolve them. This high-paced effort reflects  Yogi govt Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s vision, as both the Mela and the district administrations are working tirelessly to create a seamless and memorable Mahakumbh experience by completing the preparations ahead of schedule.

With just over two months left for Mahakumbh 2025, preparations in Prayagraj are in full swing. A wide range of arrangements is being made to handle influx of devotees, with ongoing works including building railway overbridges to road widening. The city is being transformed with the construction of thematic gates, vibrant wall paintings, and park beautification projects. Renovation of temples and construction work on the ghats are also advancing rapidly.

Departments like the Mela Authority, PWD, Prayagraj Development Authority, Municipal Corporation, Tourism Department, Irrigation Department, and Setu Nigam are working in close coordination to complete the projects on time. To ensure steady progress, officials from various departments are now conducting late-night inspections. These surprise visits have significantly accelerated the pace of work, ensuring that all preparations stay on track.

In recent days, the Vice-Chancellor and Secretary of the Prayagraj Development Authority (PDA) conducted late-night inspections of ongoing development works at key locations, including High Court Road, Chhota Baghada Road, Arail, Kydganj, Hatia, Nurullah, Jhunsi Bus Stand, and Lete Hanuman Temple. During these inspections, they provided necessary instructions for improvements to the implementing agencies.

Similarly, officers from the Mela administration also carried out midnight inspections at various sites, focusing on construction and development projects. They directed departmental staff to ensure adequate water and electricity supply. This heightened night-time vigilance has accelerated departmental work, with special emphasis on projects that had been pending for some time.
