Abstract:
The Kumbh Mela, a monumental religious event drawing millions of pilgrims to Prayagraj, Haridwar, Nashik, and Ujjain in India, poses significant challenges to the host cities' infrastructure. In Prayagraj, transportation networks and essential services face strain, prompting authorities to invest in upgrades, yet concerns linger regarding the sustainability of these improvements post-event. Haridwar confronts similar issues with overcrowding and resource strain, necessitating temporary infrastructure enhancements, although doubts persist about the long-term impact. Nashik experiences congestion and sanitation problems exacerbated by temporary settlements, highlighting both the event's potential for infrastructure improvement and the uncertainty surrounding its lasting effects. Ujjain grapples with congestion and environmental concerns due to makeshift facilities, prompting infrastructure investments while raising questions about their sustainability. The Kumbh Mela presents a unique opportunity for infrastructure development in these cities, but the challenge lies in ensuring the enduring benefits of these investments beyond the event. Balancing short-term needs with long-term urban development goals remains crucial for effective management and sustainability in the face of this extraordinary gathering.
