Ayodhya divided into six zones to handle surge in devotees due to Maha Kumbh

Ayodhya is witnessing a surge in the number of devotees visiting the holy city amid the ongoing Maha Kumbh mela in Prayagraj, one of the world’s largest religious gatherings. Devotees, while visiting the Maha Kumbh, are also taking a tour of Ayodhya Ram Temple during their pilgrimage.

Ayodhya is around 160 kilometres away from Prayagraj, the Maha Kumbh venue. Security has been enhanced in Ayodhya to ensure crowd management as more and more devotees come to the city. Visuals from Ayodhya show a sea of devotees making their way to the Ram Temple. The city of Ayodhya has been divided into six zones and 11 sectors to ensure better management, said Ayodhya Superintendent of Police Madhuvan Kumar Singh.
