While I appreciate the focus on pilgrim facilities, I hope there is a clear plan for environmental protection. The Ganga's health is paramount. The funds must ensure waste management doesn't fail like in previous large gatherings.

Good step by the Centre. Haridwar's roads and basic amenities get overwhelmed during Kumbh. This investment in traffic management and water supply is much needed. Hope the work is completed on time, not at the last minute.

As someone who visited the last Kumbh, the scale is unbelievable. Proper facilities and security are a massive undertaking. This funding seems like a proactive move. Hopefully it improves the experience for both Indian and international visitors.

Development of Uttarakhand is crucial. Along with Char Dham and connectivity projects, this will boost the state's economy long-term through tourism. A well-managed Kumbh will showcase our soft power to the world.

Transparency in spending is key. Such a large amount must be used effectively for permanent infrastructure that benefits locals even after the Mela, not just temporary arrangements. The CM's promise of transparent execution needs strict monitoring.
