>6. And do you know you need a permit and negative covid test report to participate in this religious event ? [6]

We dont have capacity to test the number of people who were attending the Kumbh mela daily. 10k tests may be the capacity appx, while appx 10 million people will be attending over a month.

Please understand India as reported by media is way different from the ground reality.

> We dont have capacity

By we, do you mean you personally? Or do you have the entire state machinery reporting to you.

You keep talking about ground reality. You mostly seem to be adding to the chaos.

Maybe when all this is over, have the government setup a commission to investigate negligence, profiteering and other acts but how exactly are you helping anyone by spreading more panic
