Kumbh Mela: Could not implement COVID protocols as it was peak day, says UttarakhandDGP
Despite rising COVID cases, Haridwar is jam-packed with pilgrims for Kumbh Mela on April 12.
COVID protocols were flouted as devotees performed the rituals.
Appreciating the efforts of police, Uttarakhand DGP Ashok Kumar said that as it was a peak day therefore, it was hard to make people follow it.
DGP Ashok Kumar said, "Maha Kumbh has been challenging for the country, Uttarakhand Police is comparatively small in strength but Maha Kumbh takes place on that very scale.
It was a challenging day for us.
The crowd is a little less due to COVID.
We have tried our best that the behaviour is right and COVID protocols are followed.
Today is a peak day so it is not possible to make them follow protocols.
The footfall is 50% less than what we were expecting this year due to COVID pandemic." Uttarakhand has over 7,000 active cases in the state.

Officials from the Uttarakhand Police have confirmed the arrest of Abdul Moid, son of Abdul Malik, who is believed to be the main orchestrator behind the Haldwani violence. Moid, considered a significant figure in the case, brings the total number of arrests linked to the February 8th incidents of stone pelting and arson in the Banbhoolpura area to 84. Abdul Malik, Moid's father, was the proprietor of the contested madrassa whose demolition sparked the unrest in the town. The authorities enforced a curfew in response to the violence, gradually lifting it after 12 days of monitoring and relaxation measures.
