Mahakumbh: CM Yogi holds special UP cabinet meet at Prayagraj, ministers take holy dip at Sangam

On the tenth day of the ongoing Mahakumbh Mela, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath convened a special Cabinet meeting in Prayagraj. After the meeting, CM Yogi and all 54 ministers took a holy dip at the Triveni Sangam, the confluence of the Ganges, Yamuna, and Saraswati rivers. The meeting was held at Triveni Sankul in Arail, with DGP Prashant Kumar briefing the media about the preparations and the plan for the event. After the meeting, the Cabinet ministers traveled from Arail VIP Ghat to the Sangam by motorboats, where they performed rituals before taking a ceremonial dip. This event is part of CM Yogi’s tradition of leading his cabinet members to the Sangam for a holy bath during significant religious gatherings. A similar event was held during the Kumbh Mela in 2019, when CM Yogi, along with his ministers, participated in the ceremonial dip alongside saints and religious leaders.
