1.5 lakh toilets, 25,000 dustbins to be set up on Maha Kumbh campus

Prayagraj: The Kumbh Mela authorities are gearing up to make Maha Kumbh 2025 a ‘Swacch Kumbh' (clean and green Kumbh) with extensive preparations for cleanliness on the banks of the Ganga.
To ensure a clean and well-organised mega religious event, the Mela administration will deploy over 10,000 cleaning staff. Additionally, 1.5 lakh toilets and 25,000 dustbins equipped with liner bags will be installed across the Mela grounds.
A total of 1,45,000 toilets and urinals will be set up. Besides, over 300 sectional vehicles and jet spray cleaning systems will be deployed, while more than 10,000 employees will be responsible for maintaining the cleanliness of these facilities.
Additionally, service levels will be monitored through QR codes, enabling immediate rectification of any issues.
For efficient waste management, 120 tippers and 40 compactor trucks will be deployed. Transfer stations have been set up in each sector, and GPS-based monitoring of vehicles will ensure timely and effective cleaning.
A total of 10,200 sanitation workers, organised into 850 teams, will be deployed at the Kumbh Mela. Special sanitation colonies have been constructed for their accommodation. To ensure transparency and timely payment, the daily wages of these workers will be directly deposited into their bank accounts, eliminating any financial confusion and guaranteeing fair compensation for their efforts.
