Maha Kumbh 2025: Safe or Not? Experts Weigh In on Sangam Water Quality Amid Coliform Concerns

Описание: A recent report has raised concerns over increased fecal coliform levels in the Sangam waters at Prayagraj during Maha Kumbh. However, experts argue that more data is needed before concluding whether the water is unfit for drinking or bathing. Environmental scientist Amit Kumar Mishra emphasized the need for additional monitoring stations and continuous data collection, noting that fluctuations in bacterial levels are common during peak bathing events. Other experts, including RK Ranjan and Chander Kumar Singh, pointed out inconsistencies in the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) data and stated that premature conclusions should be avoided. They highlighted that similar trends have been observed in other locations and that the sample collection timing and location significantly impact results.
