MAHAKUMBH NAGAR (PRAYAGRAJ): The Uttar Pradesh cabinet held its meeting on the banks of the Sangam during the ongoing Mahakumbh Mela on Wednesday and took several important decisions for infrastructure development in Prayagraj as well as other parts of the state.

After the meeting at Triveni Sankul (Complex) in Arail, chief minister Yogi Adityanath, along with his council of ministers, took a holy dip at the Sangam.

The chief minister termed the day as auspicious for holding the cabinet meeting at the Mahakumbh as it was on January 22 last year that consecration of the Ram Lalla idol at the Ram temple in Ayodhya was held. This was the second time the Uttar Pradesh cabinet met on the banks of the Sangam.

The first time was during the 2019 Kumbh Mela when a state cabinet meeting was held at Integrated Command and Control Center (ICCC) of the Prayagraj Mela Authority.

After the nearly two-hour-long cabinet meeting which lasted nearly two hours on Wednesday, the chief minister briefed media persons about decisions taken.

These decisions include construction of a new bridge parallel to the signature bridge on the Yamuna in Prayagraj.
