Gujarat CM flags off first Volvo bus for Maha Kumbh from Gandhinagar

Soon after the Gujarat government announced  the launch of Volvo bus services for Maha Kumbh, Chief Minister Bhupendra Patel flagged off the first bus from Gandhinagar Circuit House on Monday.

This Maha Kumbh journey, spanning four days and three nights, began from Ahmedabad-Ranip bus terminal. Depending on the demand and circumstances, the service may also be extended to Vadodara and Surat. Devotees wishing to travel to the Kumbh Mela must book tickets online. The state government offers accommodation as part of the package, but devotees are required to make their own arrangements for meals.

According to sources, the chief minister is expected to attend the Maha Kumbh on February 3.

Home Minister Harsh Sanghavi stated that people from Gujarat are travelling to the Maha Kumbh to take a holy dip in faith.

The package for this journey is already fully booked, with the first batch comprising 15 volunteers who will provide services at the Kumbh for the next 15 days. Additional buses will be arranged as accommodation becomes available.

The state government is ensuring that people can travel to the Kumbh with ease
