"Mock Drills, disaster preparation," Agencies gear up for Mahakumbh Mela

Prayagraj (Uttar Pradesh) [India], January 3 (ANI): As Prayagraj is all set to host Mahakumbh 2025, the police administration and various disaster management services are continuously working towards preparations for the grand event.
Efforts are being made to make this Maha Kumbh divine, grand, and safe. Comprehensive disaster management preparations have also been ensured in case any emergency arises during the event.

On Friday, a drill was organised at the Mela Police Line, in which the concerned officials, including the vice chairman of the Disaster Management Authority and officers from all disaster-related agencies, along with numerous police officers, were present.
The main focus of this drill was to practice the preparations for handling biological, chemical, nuclear, and radiological (CBRN) disasters. This drill was conducted through a "mock drill" or "tabletop exercise," which allowed all agencies to establish coordination and respond effectively in emergency situations.
Such drills provide training to all the present officers and members, enabling them to effectively deal with any kind of disaster in the future. This will ensure that the pilgrims attending the Maha Kumbh 2025 will be provided with the utmost safety and facilities.
Meanwhile, ahead of the event, the first gaming zone of North Central Railway will be started near platform 6 at Prayagraj Junction.
This gaming zone will be equipped with a high-end gaming VR cricket box, a motion theatre, PC games, arcade games, a jungle safari, air hockey and VR games. Passengers can enjoy a variety of games ranging from classic to modern arcade games. This zone has been created to provide a unique entertainment experience to the passengers. This gaming zone will be set up by Fun Space LLP. This gaming will start its services in January 2025.
The facility of the gaming zone at Prayagraj Junction will not only improve the experience of passengers, but will also be better for all age groups like children, adults and the elderly. The gaming zone will be open throughout the day and passengers will be able to use it by purchasing tickets at a fixed fee. This gaming zone will be built on the lines of the gaming zone built in the mall. This initiative is a part of Prayagraj Division's efforts to provide better services to passengers and modernise and upgrade facilities. (ANI)
