Solid waste offerings : Each person visiting the mela generated solid waste of approximately 100 gm every day, be it plastics, bottles or flowers. If you visit the mela grounds today, you will see solid waste strewn all over the place

Excreta matters : We set up more than 40,000 toilets and sanitation complexes to deal with the excrement of more than 100 million people. But truth is that the entire infrastructure was not installed in time, much of it lying around unused. The reality is

Melon times : Cucumber and water melon farmers have started reclaiming river bed for their farming activities. Only a small chunk of the massive river bed is fit for farming as most of it is still laden with debris. It is a bit late into summer to start w

Afterlife returns : Boats were stationed upstream to ensure there were no animal carcasses nor human bodies floating in the river at the bathing ghats. Cremations were also stopped at Sangam to avoid unsightly scenes during the Kumbh mela. Life is back to
