Overview
- Chief Secretary Rajesh Agrawal ordered all Kumbh works to receive the highest administrative priority and said officers will be held responsible for any slippage.
- His directives require engineers to stay on site, with coordinated plans for CCTV on major roads, an optical-fiber network for communications, traffic management, and early development at the Sadhugram campsite for ascetics.
- Water-related projects were told to finish before the monsoon, including Trimbakeshwar water supply, a district water grid, new and extended riverfront bathing steps, a sewer line along the Godavari, and riverbed works.
- Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis announced a ₹35,000 crore program that includes a new Nashik airport terminal, a 66‑km ring road, road and bridge upgrades, rail station improvements, a darshan path at Trimbakeshwar, and conservation of ancient temples.
- Planning assumes a far larger turnout than the last Kumbh, with a dedicated authority in place, land set aside for Sadhugram, and river-cleanup measures such as Kushavarta water purification to give devotees clean, flowing Godavari water.
