of Maha Kumbh. On the other hand, crores of people flocked to the Sangam coast for holy bath on Paush Purnima, the first bathing festival of Maha Kumbh. During this time, the police was fully alert in maintaining security with polite behavior. According to the police, although about 800 signage boards have been installed by the fair administration to show the way to the devotees, but people showed more trust in UP Police.
