Maha Kumbh: Drivers, sailors, and guides to wear special tracksuits to ensure easy accessiblility

Lucknow: In preparation for the Maha Kumbh, the Uttar Pradesh government has introduced new initiatives to enhance the experience for millions of devotees and tourists expected to attend.

Guided by Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s vision for a well-organized and accessible event, a plan has been devised to distinguish drivers, boatmen, guides, and cart operators at the Kumbh Mela by providing them with special tracksuits.

The special uniforms will make these service providers easily identifiable, ensuring that tourists can quickly spot and approach them for assistance, contributing to a smoother, more organised Maha Kumbh experience.

Regional Tourism Officer Aparajita Singh said, "In Maha Kumbh, drivers, sailors, guides, and cart operators will wear special tracksuits, each featuring the Tourism and Kumbh logos. The special uniforms will not only add visual appeal but also make it easier for visitors to identify and approach service providers."

To ensure essential services are easily accessible during the busy Maha Kumbh Mela, the administration has introduced easily identifiable tracksuits for four key groups, including drivers, boatmen, guides, and cart operators. Each group will wear a different uniform, making it easy for visitors to identify and approach them for assistance.

These tracksuits will also display the Kumbh and Tourism Department logos, helping to confirm the identity of service providers and maintain transparency in the information and help offered to visitors. The administration believes this system will reduce confusion and improve the overall experience for passengers.

With millions attending the Maha Kumbh, organising such a large event is challenging. The track suit initiative aims to enhance visitor convenience and safety, making it easier for tourists to find the help they need throughout the fair.
