Prayagraj Magh Mela 2022 / Today lakhs of people are taking a dip of 'faith', 70 corona positives found so far, Magh Mela can become a super spreader

Magh Mela is being organized in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh amidst increasing cases of corona in the country. This fair of faith can be a super spreader of Corona. Today i.e. on Friday, lakhs of people will take bath on the occasion of Makar Sankranti. Corona has exploded in the fair. There is a continuous appeal that the fair should be canceled, but this fair is being held in Prayagraj. In such a situation, the question is why this fair in the time of epidemic? During this 47-day long event, lakhs of devotees will bathe in the Ganges.

According to the crowd of lakhs, preparations have also been made big. But questions are being raised on this fair being held in the midst of the third wave of corona epidemic and this is because corona virus has killed the entry in Magh fair. Meanwhile, 18 more people have been found infected with the corona virus in the Magh Mela. A total of 70 people have been infected so far. These figures are before the crowd of devotees coming on Makar Sankranti. These figures are only for the investigation of policemen and selected people. If the investigation is done after increasing the crowd from today, then a large number of infected can come out.

Even after the explosion of the Corona bomb, the situation of Magh Mela has not changed. The government is making all the claims, but in reality, only negligence is visible. Paush Purnima starts from Monday i.e. 17th January. More than 1 lakh saints, Mahatmas will do Kalpavas here. The government has strengthened the preparations to make the Magh Mela grand. More than two dozen swings and exhibitions have been arranged by taking out a tender worth Rs. But due to Corona, all this information is increasing the concern. However, big claims are being made by the administration to follow the Kovid rules.

Despite all the claims, the question remains that after all...

-Why Magh Mela during the pandemic?

- Is Magh Mela more important than life?

-After the corona explosion, will the fair not cause trouble?

In such a situation, hope now rests on the High Court, where a petition has been filed to stop the fair. But the High Court has refused to hear immediately. Now the High Court will hear this matter as a regular case. It is expected that the matter will be heard on Monday.
