What prompted the authorities to impose a 'no vehicle zone' during the Kumbh Mela
The authorities decided to enforce a 'no vehicle zone' starting from 4 p.m. during the Kumbh Mela event.
During the Kumbh Mela event, authorities imposed a 'no vehicle zone' due to various reasons:

- 2. Crowd management: Restricting vehicles helps in better crowd control and smoother movement of pedestrians.
- 3. Environmental concerns: Limiting vehicular traffic helps reduce air and noise pollution, ensuring a cleaner and more sustainable environment during the event.
- 4. Preserving the sanctity of the event: By promoting walking and other forms of sustainable transportation, authorities aim to uphold the spiritual essence of the Kumbh Mela.
