I don’t even know where to start, man. Prayagraj has officially reached its breaking point, and as a local resident, I can’t take it anymore,” the user stated. “The last Amrit Snan is already done. We are literally in the ending phase of Mahakumbh. So why the hell is the crowd only increasing instead of decreasing?!” the user asked. It’s like people from all over India just refuse to stop coming. The city is beyond exhausted. Public transport? Overloaded. Roads? Completely jammed. Even the narrowest gullies (alleys) are packed with people and vehicles. Every single street, turn, and intersection is just cars, e-rickshaws, and foot traffic forcing their way through,” he added.
“Ganga ji aur Sangam kahin nahi ja rahe. You can come peacefully later. Have some mercy on this city and its people. We are begging you,” he further suggested. While many of the uses supported his ideas by saying that the locals have been troubled a lot and that the devotees should stop coming to the city, others pointed out that Mahakumbh is conducted after many years and the locals should not object the people who desired to be a part of this religious event.
