The ongoing maha Kumbh in Sangam city Prayagraj is now at its last stage. In such a situation, today on sunday (23 February), on the weekend, a huge crowd of devotees gathered at Prayagraj Sangam, here till 12 noon, more than 70 lakh people have taken a dip of faith at Sangam. During this time, due to the gathering of devotees, chaos has also started appearing in maha Kumbh today. Today at 12 noon, a crowd of thousands of devotees gathered at Pontoon Bridge No. 7, during this time a lot of altercation was seen between the police and the crowd.
Devotees appeared angry
According to the devotees, all the bridges going from Jhunsi to Sangam have been closed by the administration. The devotees alleged that the policemen standing on the bridge towards which people are going are asking the devotees to go to the other bridge, which is closed. In this regard, the devotees further told that the policemen present on the pontoon bridge number 7 are appealing to the people to go to bridge number 16. On the other hand, the devotees claimed that all this crowd has come from bridge number 16, which was not being allowed to go from that bridge.
'Police is misleading'
According to the devotees arguing with the police, all these people are standing on the bridge for the last 2 hours and here the police is not allowing them to cross the barricade, while the VIPs are comfortably going from bridge number seven.
