Hundreds of vehicles carrying thousands of pilgrims found themselves stuck on the road for hours due to the blockade.Former Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Digvijaya Singh had to postpone his journey to the Maha Kumbh because of the congestion. On Monday evening, current Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav urged travelers considering the Maha Kumbh Yatra to avoid that route for a day or two until conditions improve.

The Chief Minister advised devotees to check the traffic status before heading to the Maha Kumbh and to only proceed if the roads are clear. He acknowledged the challenges posed by the large number of devotees but reassured the public that the Madhya Pradesh government is fully equipped to handle the situation.

Dr. Yadav instructed the district administration to ensure there are adequate provisions of water, food, and accommodation for the pilgrims caught in the traffic delays at the state border. He noted the influx of numerous devotees from Madhya Pradesh, particularly from the Rewanchal region, as well as from neighboring states, which has resulted in increased traffic pressure.

Nevertheless, he assured that the state government and local authorities are in close coordination to facilitate smooth travel for the devotees and to make the necessary arrangements.
