By our Special Correspondent

Plans for the ‘Maghi Purnima Snan’, scheduled for Wednesday, February 12, have been put in place, including the entire Maha Kumbh area being declared a 'no vehicle zone', a day after people were stranded in traffic jams for more than 30 hours at several places.

          Thousands of devotees heading to Prayagraj for the Maha Kumbh were stuck in massive traffic jams reportedly spanning 300 kilometers on Monday ahead of Maghi Purnima. The police were seen asking people to turn back if they could, suggesting the gravity of the matter.
