A release stated, many devotees were split off from their loved ones amid the sea of devotees, yet 54,357 of them were reunited with their families.
A sizable portion were female. Reuniting devotees and their families from other Indian and Nepalese states was another important function of the police.
One of the biggest Hindu festivals in the world, the Maha Kumbh 2025, took place on the banks of Sangam in Prayagraj, Uttar Pradesh. Over 66 crore devotees from all over the world joined in the celebration of dedication, solidarity, and faith.
Yogi government’s efforts to reunite lost devotees
The Yogi government took a number of admirable steps to guarantee the event’s safety and smooth operation during the big Maha Kumbh Mela.
The creation of the Digital Khoya Paya Kendra, which made it easier for over 35,000 separated devotees and their families to quickly reunite, was one of the major highlights.
Women made up a substantial percentage of those reunited, and the Uttar Pradesh police, according to the administration, were essential in making sure that people from various Indian states as well as Nepal were located and returned to their families.
The reunion of 19,274 missing people with their families, including all 18 missing children, was made possible in large part by NGOs such as Bharat Seva Kendra and Hemvati Nandan Bahuguna Smriti Samiti, which was headed by Umesh Chandra Tiwari, Director of Bharat Seva Kendra’s Bhoole Bhatke Camp.
There were 598 reunions during the Amrit Snan Parv on Makar Sankranti (January 13–15), 8,725 reunions during Mauni Amavasya (January 28–30), and 864 reunions during Basant Panchami (February 2-4).
By the end of Mahakumbh, it noted, 35,083 people had been reunited, including 24,896 who had been split up during other bathing festivities and on ordinary days.
After 144 years, the big Maha Kumbh Mela was held, and millions of pilgrims and tourists from all over the world came to celebrate this holy event.
The devotees were deeply appreciative of the successful reunions at these centers and thanked Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath for this considerate move.
