The Sangam is considered holy and it is believed that bathing in it during the Kumbh helps cleanse sins and brings salvation. This time around the year during the 55-day long Kumbh mela major focus has been given in keeping the Ganga clean. From setting up two temporary Sewerage Treatment Plants so that no faecal waste ends up going to the Ganga to deploying trash skimmers in every ghat so that the waste like flowers, ash, clothes which are immersed by devotees can be removed from the surface of the river, authorities have done it all.
