Union Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal praises the facilities at Maha Kumbh, calls them "excellent"

During his visit, Meghwal highlighted the significance of the gathering at the Triveni Ghats, calling it a symbol of unity. He also mentioned attending an event titled 'Mera Samvidhan, Mera Swabhiman' later in the day, emphasising the spiritual essence of the occasion, which included a sacred 'Ganga Snan.'

Speaking to ANI, the Union Minister said, "I have been to Kumbh before this but the facilities in the Mahakumbh of Prayagraj are excellent. There are so many people gathered on the Ghats of Triveni, which gives a message of unity... I will also attend an event today, 'Mera Samvidhan, Mera Swabhiman.'. This day was a day of 'Ganga Snan,' and it was very pious..."

Earlier in the day, Union Minister Arjun Ram Meghwal took a sacred dip in the Triveni Sangam.

Similarly, Rajya Sabha MP Sudha Murty hailed the arrangements at the ongoing Maha Kumbh, describing them as "clean, safe, divine, grand, and digital." She further stated that the model of the Mahakumbh arrangements could serve as a benchmark for other governments to follow.
