Severe traffic congestion is seen on National Highway 30 as thousands of devotees make their way to Uttar Pradesh's Prayagraj for the Maha Kumbh Mela 2025 on Sunday, February 9. Several videos showing massive traffic jams on the route to Maha Kumbh Mela in Prayagraj have surfaced on social media. To manage the situation, authorities have resumed stopping vehicles at various points along the route, local media reported. Traffic has been halted in Katni, Maihar, and Rewa, leaving many stranded overnight.

Akhilesh Yadav Slams UP Govt
प्रयागराज महाकुंभ में फँसे करोड़ों श्रद्धालुओं के लिए तुरंत आपातकालीन व्यवस्था की जाए। हर तरफ़ से जाम में भूखे, प्यासे, बेहाल और थके तीर्थयात्रियों को मानवीय दृष्टि से देखा जाए। आम श्रद्धालु क्या इंसान नहीं है?
प्रयागराज में प्रवेश के लिए लखनऊ की तरफ़ 30 किमी पहले से ही नवाबगंज… pic.twitter.com/1JXmzgDEGI
