The first step to make any disaster risk reduction plan for any crowded area, (such as any religious gathering or functions), is to identify and mitigate the condition that might have increased the cause of probable disaster. Prayagraj is one of the mega cities of Uttar Pradesh, having 8 tehsils having a population of 1,117,094. There are less comprehensive studies or statistical data that is available about the fire disaster emergency plans for the dense areas of Uttar Pradesh. Using the case study of Ardh Kumbh 2019, Prayagraj, this paper provides an approach to understand the system faults and the importance of development of a disaster risk reduction plan for metropolitan cities of Uttar Pradesh. It recommends the co-ordination between various stakeholders, infrastructure facilities and Rescue agencies as well as government institutions.
