Adityanath took to social media to address the matter directly, urging people not to believe the rumors and assuring them that the water at the Sangam was regularly tested and found to be safe for use. He reiterated that the state’s monitoring systems had been established to protect the health of the public and to maintain the sanctity of the event.
In conclusion, the UP CM reaffirmed that the “fake propaganda” surrounding the water quality would not distract the government from its goal of making the Kumbh Mela a successful and safe event for all attendees.
