Robotic Clean-Up to Debut at Magh Mela as Preparations Intensify in Prayagraj

In a notable upgrade, two new cleaning robots have been deployed to support round-the-clock sanitation efforts, marking a step toward more technology-driven maintenance during the weeks-long gathering. Additional heavy machinery—including a poclain excavator and two JCB units—has also been brought in to expedite ground-level preparations and enhance the overall condition of the Mela grounds before the influx of devotees.

Prayagraj Mayor Umesh Chandra Ganesh Keserwani visited the site ahead of the inauguration, offering traditional prayers and expressing hope for a successful and well-organized Mela. The administration maintains that the expanded resources will help meet the high expectations for cleanliness and public services during one of the region’s largest religious events.

This year’s preparations highlight the growing emphasis on modern infrastructure and efficient civic management, as authorities work to balance tradition with contemporary logistical demands during the Magh Mela’s massive annual congregation.
