Gangasagar Mela: Nearly one million devotees are expected to gather on the banks of the Ganges river this Friday and Saturday for a holy bathe despite galloping COVID-19 infections across the country, an official told Reuters on Tuesday.
Over 1,050 CCTV cameras and twenty drones have been arranged for the Gangasagar Mela this year to monitor crowd movement. The authorities will also set up RT-PCR, isolation and quarantine centres for the safety of pilgrims.
