Considering the previous incidents of fire, the Kumbh administration had already taken strict safety measures in place, such as emergency response points all over the mela grounds.

Speaking about the incident, Fire Officer Vishal Yadav said, “Devotees from distant regions have parked their vehicles here. Due to excessive heat, the fire broke out. Our fire brigade teams reached the site immediately and controlled the situation. Thankfully, there were no casualties, and all are safe.”

The incident serves as a reminder of the challenges in managing large-scale events like the Maha Kumbh Mela. However, the quick response by the administration highlights their preparedness and commitment to ensuring the safety of all attendees.
