The ongoing Kumbh in Haridwar has been called off hours after PM Modi's request to keep religious event 'symbolic' amid Covid-19 crisis.
Swami Avdheshanand, who is the chief of&nbsp;Juna Akhada, said that given the rising number of coronavirus cases emerging from Haridwar, the Kumbh Mela has been called off.
Kumbh, which has seen people attending the event in large numbers, has drawn flak as the number of Covid-19 cases have zoomed at a rapid pace in the past few days. The Kumbh has already been shortened this year to just one month from April 1 to 30 due to the pandemic.

Maharashtra minority affairs minister Nawab Malik claimed on Saturday that state&rsquo;s chief minister Uddhav Thackeray tried reaching Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the shortage of oxygen and remdesivir but was told he was on a visit to poll-bound West Bengal.
Malik accused Modi of being busy in elections while &ldquo;people are dying.&rdquo;
The Prime Minister&rsquo;s Office, however, refuted Malik&rsquo;s allegation saying&nbsp;PM Modi himself reviewed the state of oxygen&nbsp;supply on Friday and that the government is in constant touch with the state governments.
Malik&rsquo;s attack comes at a time when political parties in West Bengal have been holding public rallies with large gatherings with each party training guns at the other over the spread of the coronavirus in the state.

Congress president Sonia Gandhi on Saturday urged the government to ramp up its strategy to tackle the coronavirus disease. She pointed out to the overwhelmed medical infrastructure and shortage of vaccines and drugs to treat Covid-19. Sonia Gandhi was speaking during the meeting of the Congress Working Committee, which was attended by former party chief Rahul Gandhi, general secretaries and state in-charges of the party. &ldquo;Instead of listening to the constructive suggestions of the opposition, Union Ministers are pressed into service to attack leaders of opposition for giving those suggestions.

In a letter to PM Modi, Odisha chief minister Naveen Patnaik suggested four measures to improve the process of vaccination. Patnaik brought the issue of 'intermittent supply' of Covid-19 vaccine to PM Modi&rsquo;s notice and said that the Centre needed to align their forces and work together to face the pandemic.

Vaccine production units should be ramped up with the help of the Centre and state governments, he added. He also mentioned in his letter that metropolitan cities that contribute the most to the Covid tally should be prioritised in the vaccination drive.
