Simhastha Kumbh Mela belongs to everyone. The participation of every citizen is necessary to make it clean, safe, green and successful. The suggestions received from Kumbh Manthan will be incorporated in the planning, asserted Water Resources and Disaster Management Minister Girish Mahajan here.

Nashik-Trimbakeshwar Kumbh Mela Authority organised a program today at Pandit Paluskar Hall to promote the success of Kumbh Mela through public participation. He was speaking on this occasion. MLA Rahul Dhikle, MLA Mangesh Chavan, Nashik-Trimbakeshwar Kumbh Mela Authority Chairman and Divisional Commissioner Dr Praveen Gedam, Special Inspector General of Police of Nashik area Dattatray Karale, District Collector Jalaj Sharma, Municipal Commissioner Manisha Khatri, Superintendent of Police Balasaheb Patil, Kumbh Mela Commissioner Karishma Nair, Deputy Commissioner of Police Kiran Kumar Chavan others were present.

Minister Mahajan said that Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis has assured that there will be no shortage of funds for the work of the Kumbh Mela to be held in Nashik-Trimbakeshwar. The upcoming Kumbh Mela is a festival that will have a far-reaching impact on the future of Nashik. Due to this, work on roads and bridges will be done. While building the roads, it will be planned so that they will last for a long time. Emphasis will be placed on sustainable works. Two-wheeler passenger transport will be considered.

 State-of-the-art technology will be used for the Kumbh Mela. Adequate measures will be planned for security. Since the period of Amrit Snan is during the monsoon, full care will be taken for the safety of the devotees. The cooperation of all sections of society is necessary for the success of the Kumbh Mela. For this, citizens should contribute, and in the future, too, their basic suggestions will be implemented after discussing with the citizens, said Minister Mahajan.

Will implement Ghar Ghar Kumbh Abhiyan: Dr Gedam

Commissioner Dr Gedam said that Kumbh Mela has a tradition of hundreds of years. Kumbh Mela is not only the district administration's, but everyone's. Therefore, the participation of all citizens is necessary. For this, Ghar Ghar Kumbh Abhiyan will be implemented.

Various infrastructure facilities will be available on the occasion of the Kumbh Mela. They will remain permanent. 

There is a good opportunity for the tourism sector. Therefore, new concepts are welcome. On this occasion, the development of Nashik will get a booster dose. Along with this, the participation of various organisations in the art and cultural sectors is necessary to change the face of the city. Innovative opportunities should be found in the Kumbh Mela. If that happens, we can find a way for economic progress along with religion, he also said.

Commissioner Khatri gave information about the various works being done through the Municipal Corporation.
