30-minute blower mist response to combat insects at Mahakumbh 2025

Mahakumbh Nagar : In preparation for Mahakumbh 2025, the Yogi government has implemented exceptional measures to ensure cleanliness and hygiene. Acting on Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s directives, the Health department has introduced special arrangements for both saints and devotees, aiming to provide a mosquito and fly-free experience throughout the event.

To tackle insect-related issues effectively, an innovative system has been introduced, deploying automatic blower mist machines capable of eradicating mosquitoes and flies within 30 minutes of receiving a call from any part of the Mahakumbh area. This system ensures a swift response and a hygienic environment for all attendees.

Additionally, significant efforts are being made to maintain a clean and insect-free atmosphere in the akharas and the expansive tent city. A total of 110 state-of-the-art blower mist machines and 107 mini fogging machines are being deployed across the site. These modern devices are expected to enhance the overall experience of devotees and ensure a serene and healthy environment throughout the grand religious gathering.

The Chief Minister has directed special cleanliness arrangements for Mahakumbh 2025. According to Dr. V.P. Singh, Nodal Joint Director (Vector Control) for Mahakumbh, insecticide spraying will be carried out across the entire venue to ensure a hygienic environment. To further enhance convenience for devotees, 62 pulse fogging machines have been procured.

In addition, 78 special officers will be deployed to ensure the safety and well-being of saints and pilgrims during the event.

Malaria inspectors will be stationed throughout the fairgrounds to address any concerns of the attendees. These inspectors will visit each akhara, interact with saints, and promptly resolve issues related to mosquitoes and flies, ensuring a smooth and pleasant experience for all.

For the first time, Mahakumbh 2025 will feature extensive safety arrangements for both saints and devotees. Dr. Anand Kumar Singh, Assistant Nodal Officer for Vector Control and DMO, stated that 78 special officers are being deployed as part of these efforts.

To ensure a smooth experience for pilgrims, 45 malaria inspectors are planned for deployment, along with 28 assistant malaria inspectors who will look after the well-being of both saints and devotees. Additionally, five District Malaria Officers (DMOs) will be stationed separately to address any challenges and maintain uninterrupted services during the grand event.
