Prayagraj

Police Mitra, an initiative started by constable Ashish Mishra has helped save more than 1500 lives so far.

The task was to identify walls, bridges, buildings, water tanks and other structures, which could host wall art and transform the place into India’s first-ever street art city!

With almost 150 volunteers spread across the mela grounds, the camp has reunited more than 22,000 children and 12,50,000 people in the last 73 years- all for free!

Taking inspiration from everything cultural - ranging from famous singers to dance forms - the bright paintings are a visual delight in otherwise drab urban settings.

In light of the Allahabad Kumbh Mela, the Uttar Pradesh State Government has proposed to change the name of Allahabad to Prayagraj.
