The Uttar Pradesh government has unveiled plans to make the 2024 Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj an eco-friendly, world-class event. Central to these plans are app-based e-vehicle services and a luxurious tent city, designed to accommodate millions of global pilgrims.
These initiatives align with the 'Green Maha Kumbh' project and promise a seamless, memorable experience for the expected 45 crore attendees. The e-vehicles, provided by Comfy E Mobility, will ensure affordable, eco-friendly transit, complemented by a 'Pink Taxi' service for female devotees' safety.
Visitors will also enjoy lodging in Swiss cottage-style tents, complete with modern amenities. The Uttar Pradesh State Tourism Development Corporation is spearheading this aspect, delivering an immersive cultural experience with yoga sessions, cultural events, and tours of historical sites.
