CM Yogi said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi had come here on 13 December for the inauguration of Prayagraj Maha Kumbh. He gave a lot of guidance before and during that time as well. All the officials of the Government of India, all the ministries were working together with the UP government to take this event to new heights of success.

Presented an excellent example of hospitality
CM Yogi said that whoever came to Prayagraj definitely appreciated two things. One was cleanliness and sanitation workers. The second was the behavior of the police. It seemed as if this was everyone’s own event. The whole family was taking the program forward together. Not only this, the people of Prayagraj also made it their home event. They organized langars at various places, greeted the guests. Forgetting their problems, they became a part of this event.
The CM said that what would be the situation if 7-8 crore people suddenly come to a city where 25 to 30 lakh people live? A house in which five members live, if 10 people suddenly come, the situation becomes bad. Here 20 times more people were coming, but the people of Prayagraj made it their event with full patience and happiness.
CM Yogi said that inspired by Prayagraj, the entire state contributed to this. The people of the state were seen on the route through which the pilgrims and devotees, revered saints went to greet and welcome them.
