A massive crowd gathered on the banks of river Ganges on Monday, 12 April 2021, in Uttarakhand's Haridwar for Kumbh Mela, one of the largest gatherings in the world, despite the country's grappling situation with the COVID-19 surge.

The crowd assembled at Har ki Pauri ghat on the river banks to take a holy dip on the occasion violating all COVID-19 norms.

However, on the account of increasing COVID cases, a negative RT-PCR test report not older than 72 hours before arrival has been made mandatory for the devotees.
