In a move to ensure the comfort of devotees attending Maha Kumbh 2025, the Yogi Adityanath government has launched an online system for procuring bonfire wood. The Uttar Pradesh Forest Corporation has made firewood depot locations accessible via Google. The move seeks to help pilgrims combat the cold during the event.
Devotees, including those arriving from abroad, can easily locate depots by searching ‘Firewood Depot Prayagraj’ online, streamlining the process and ensuring a hassle-free experience.
DSM Prayagraj RK Chandna announced that 16 firewood depots have been set up across the Maha Kumbh area, with wood priced at Rs 600 per quintal.
According to the Uttar Pradesh Forest Corporation, approximately 27,000 quintals of wood will be supplied during Maha Kumbh. Firewood will be transported from various depots across the state and sold at the prescribed rate of Rs 600 per quintal.
