NEW DELHI: In the wake of the increasing number of Covid-19 cases in the sadhu community at Maha Kumbh and top seers dying of Covid-19 complications , akhadas have started exiting the grand pilgrimage that has so far hosted lakhs of people.
The Kumbh mela will end on April 30 officially and the next royal bath is on April 27. The Akhada Parishad, the apex body of all 13 akhadas, is planning to take part in the next royal bath but only a few saints will go for the dip.
