UP Police Sets Strict Diet and Alcohol Rules for Maha Kumbh 2025

The Uttar Pradesh Police is taking important steps for the Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj. These include a strict vegetarian diet, alcohol abstinence, and behavioral training for officers.

Dates and Significance

The Maha Kumbh will be held from January 13 to February 26, 2025. It begins on Paush Purnima and ends on Mahashivratri. This event will showcase Indian culture to a global audience.

Creating a Welcoming Atmosphere

Senior Superintendent of Police (Kumbh) Rajesh Dwivedi emphasized creating a positive environment for pilgrims. “We want to ensure that devotees have a pleasant experience, with police officers acting warmly — not just as law enforcers but as servants of faith,” Dwivedi said.

Food and Drink Restrictions

The police will strictly enforce food and drink rules. Non-vegetarian food and alcohol will be banned at the Mela grounds. “The food served in the police mess is entirely vegetarian. We have instructed all personnel to act in a manner that respects the devotees’ faith,” Dwivedi added.

Behavioral Training for Officers

Officers are receiving behavioral training at a specialized facility in the Mela area. External trainers are teaching etiquette and public service skills. Currently, 1,500 personnel have completed the training, and 40,000 officers will be trained by the Mela’s start.

Ongoing Training Plans

Atul Kumar Singh, the training program’s in-charge, explained that 700 officers are currently undergoing a 21-day training course. As the Mela nears, the duration will be reduced to 14 days. Additionally, the National Police Academy is providing specialized training to ensure officers uphold the cultural and religious significance of the event.
