The social media reports about vehicle entry restrictions in Prayagraj are untrue according to DM Mandar. This is completely baseless. The diversion system operated exclusively during the Mauni Amavasya amrit snan (holy bath) religious event.
The authorities have ordered police forces to eliminate all barriers and diversions that existed since January 30 as devotees return to the site. The authorities have officially stated that traffic limitations inside Prayagraj will not apply throughout January 31 and February 1 and February 4.

On the day of Basant Panchami amrit snan Mandar stated that the diversion plan will be reactivated starting February 2 through February 3.
The Mela Officer together with the DIG will operate their own independent process for vehicle entry at the mela region based on future communications. No vehicle restrictions exist within the Prayagraj Commissionerate area in accordance with his statement.

People will be informed about the unique vehicle entry system for the Mela Kshetra through Mela officials and DIG. The Commissionerate area does not impose any restrictions regarding vehicular entry according to him."
