Kumbh Mela 2025: Prayagraj Gears Up for ‘Swachh Kumbh’ with 1.5 Lakh Toilets and Advanced Waste Management

The city of Prayagraj is all set to host the Kumbh Mela 2025, one of the largest religious gatherings in the world, with a focus on cleanliness and sustainability. The Uttar Pradesh government has launched the “Swachh Kumbh” initiative, aiming to provide a clean and hygienic environment for the millions of devotees expected to attend the festival.

To achieve this goal, the government has made elaborate arrangements for sanitation and waste management. A total of 1.5 lakh toilets will be constructed across the mela area, including 20,000 eco-friendly toilets and 30,000 mobile toilets. Additionally, 10,000 sanitation workers will be deployed to ensure that the toilets are cleaned and maintained regularly.

Advanced waste management systems will also be put in place, including a network of underground sewage pipes and a waste-to-energy plant. The plant will convert organic waste into compost and energy, reducing the amount of waste sent to landfills. Furthermore, a team of experts will be stationed at the mela to monitor and manage waste disposal, ensuring that the festival grounds remain clean and pollution-free.

The “Swachh Kumbh” initiative is a significant step towards promoting cleanliness and sustainability in the city of Prayagraj. The government’s efforts are expected to set a new benchmark for cleanliness and hygiene at large public gatherings, and serve as a model for other cities to follow. With its focus on sanitation, waste management, and sustainability, the Kumbh Mela 2025 is poised to be a truly “Swachh Kumbh”.
