Preparations are underway for Makar Sankranti bathing at Prayagraj's Magh Mela, with authorities expecting over one crore devotees on January 15. This projection is nearly triple the approximately 29 lakh devotees who participated last year. Extensive arrangements include 12,100 feet of bathing ghats, 42 temporary parking zones for over one lakh vehicles, and measures to ensure river water quality and sanitation. Special transport services are also arranged to manage the anticipated large turnout.
