Why was this decision made?

During this period, millions of devotees will come to Prayagraj to take a holy dip in the Sangam. This will lead to a massive increase in crowds in the city. Roads may become congested, and traffic could be disrupted. The administration has taken this step, keeping in mind the safety of the students and to prevent any inconvenience to them during their commute.
