AWAY from the Sangam, there are ripples of discontent in how the city has been hijacked by the event, but those voices are muted.

AWAY from the Sangam, there are ripples of discontent in how the city has been hijacked by the event, but those voices are muted. Allahabad's liberals, who had spoken up in 2018 when the city's name was changed to Prayagraj, which they felt highlighted only the spiritual identity of the city and not its historical, literary, legal and civilisational vastness, now balance their criticism with developmental gains.

They weigh the merits of a six-lane bridge that will connect the city to Pratapgarh and UP's capital Lucknow, and four railway bridges in the city that have eased traffic movement against the shortcoming of "thousands of trees that have been cut at Sangam."
