Good to see the administration is prepared with security and arrangements for 50 lakh devotees! That's a massive logistical challenge, especially with the fog. Kudos to the police and officials on the ground.

While the wishes are appreciated, I hope this "new resolve" translates into tangible action for cleaner Ganga waters. The sanctity of the dip is paramount, and that requires a clean river. More focus on that, please.
