The first phase of Kaliyug is going on or we can say that it is in its infancy and the age of Kaliyug is 432,000, this is what the Priests, preachers, and saints are saying, but clear evidence about the state of Kaliyug has been given in Shrimad Bhagwat Mahapuran. When 2300 years of Kaliyug have passed, Bhakti Devi and Narad Muni had a conversation, this is mentioned in the first chapter of Bhagwat Mahatmya.
According to this conversation, at that time, a severe Kaliyug was going on and Kaliyug was in its worst state, this is what Narad Muni was telling Bhakti Devi. This is clear from the shloka given below. Now 5128 years of Kaliyug have passed. We have to think about which stage of Kaliyug would be going on right now?
You can see below-:

Iha ghore kalau prāyo jīvaś cāsuratāṁ gataḥ।
Kleśākrāntasya tasyaiva śodhane kiṁ parāyaṇam॥ 6

In this terrible Kali-kala, the beings have become almost demonic. What is the best way to make these beings pure (endowment with divine powers) afflicted with various afflictions? ॥6॥

Nārada uvāca:
Ahaṁ tu pṛthivīṁ yāto jñātvā sarvottamāmiti।
Puṣkaraṁ ca Prayāgaṁ ca Kāśīṁ Godāvarī tathā॥ 28

Harikṣetraṁ Kurukṣetraṁ Śrīraṅga Setubandhanam।
Evamādiṣu tīrtheṣu bhramamāṇa itas tataḥ॥ 29

Nāpaśyaṁ kutracic charma manaḥsaṁtoṣakārakam।
Kalinā dharmamitreṇa dhareyaṁ bādhitādhunā॥ 30

Naradji said- I came to the earth thinking it to be the best world. Here I roamed here and there in many pilgrimage places like Pushkar, Prayag, Kashi, Godavari (Nashik), Haridwar, Kurukshetra, Shrirang and Setubandh; but I did not find peace that would satisfy my mind anywhere. At this time, Kaliyug, the supporter of evil, has tormented the entire earth.॥ 28-30॥

Satyaṁ nāsti tapaḥ śaucaṁ dayā dānaṁ na vidyate।
Udaraṁbhariṇo jīvā varākāḥ kūṭabhāṣiṇaḥ॥ 31

Mandāḥ sumandamatayo mandabhāgyā hyapagatāḥ।
Pākhaṇḍaniratāḥ santo viraktāḥ saparigrahāḥ॥ 32

Taruṇīprabhutā gehe śyālako buddhidāyakaḥ।
Kanyāvikrayiṇo lobhād dampatīnāṁ ca kalkanam॥ 33

Now here there is no truth, penance, cleanliness (purity inside and outside), mercy, charity, etc. These poor creatures are only engaged in earning their stomachs; they have become liars, lazy, dim-witted, unfortunate, and trouble-prone. Those who are called saints and sages have become complete hypocrites; they appear detached, but they run for their materialistic desires, etc. Women rule in the houses, brothers-in-law have become advisors, people sell their daughters out of greed and there is a quarrel between men and women. ॥31-33॥

Āśramā yavanai rudhās tīrthāni saritas tathā।
Devatāyatanāny atra duṣṭai naṣṭāni bhūriśaḥ॥ 34

The hermitages of the great souls, the holy places, and the rivers have come under the control of the Yavanas (heretics); those wicked ones have also destroyed many temples. ॥34॥

Na yogī naiva siddho vā na jñānī sakriyo naraḥ।
Kalidāvānalenādya sādhanaṁ bhasmatāṁ gatam॥ 35

At this time there is no Yogi or Siddha, no wise man or one who does good deeds. At this time all the means have been burnt to ashes by the fire of Kali(a demon which influences kaliyug). ॥35॥

Aṭṭaśūlā janapadāḥ śivaśūlā dvijātayaḥ।
Kāminyaḥ keśaśūlinyaḥ sambhavanti kalāviha॥ 36

In this Kali-yuga all the citizens of the country have started selling food grains in the markets, Brahmins teach the Vedas for money and women have started living as prostitutes. ॥36॥

Utpannā drāviḍe sāhaṁ vṛddhiṁ karṇāṭake gatā।
Kvacit kvacin mahārāṣṭra gurjare jīrṇatāṁ gatā॥ 48

I was born in the Dravidian country, grew up in Karnataka, and was honored at some places in Maharashtra; but in Gujarat, old age surrounded me. ॥48॥

Tatra ghorakalaugāt pākhaṇḍaiḥ khaṇḍitāṅgakā।
Durbalāhaṁ ciraṁ yātā putrābhyāṁ saha mandatām॥ 49

There, due to the terrible effects of Kali Yuga, the hypocrites made weak me. Due to this condition lasting for a long time, I became weak along with my sons. 49.

Śṛṇuṣvāvahitā bāle yugo'yaṁ dāruṇaḥ kaliḥ।
Tena luptaḥ sadācāro yogamārgas tapāṁsi ca॥ 57

Narada said, "Devi! Listen carefully. This is the terrible Kali Yuga. That is why good conduct, the path of Yoga and penance etc. have all vanished in this time." ॥ 57॥

Janā aghāsurāyante śāṭhyaduṣkarmakāriṇaḥ।
Iha santo viṣīdanti prahṛṣyanti hyasādhavaḥ।
Dhatte dhairyaṁ tu yo dhīmān sa dhīraḥ paṇḍito thavā॥ 58

People are becoming Aghasur(a demon) by indulging in deceit and evil deeds. Wherever you see in the world, the virtuous are saddened by sorrow and the wicked are becoming happy. At this time, the wise man who has patience is the one who is very knowledgeable or a scholar.॥58॥

Aspṛśyānavalokyeyaṁ śeṣabhārakarī dharā।
Varṣe varṣe kramāj jātā maṅgalaṁ nāpi dṛśyate॥ 59

Gradually every year the earth becomes a burden for Sheshnaag(on which Mahavishnu rests and Sheshnaag who holds the earth and the earth is becoming heady due to sins). Now it is not even worth seeing or touching it, and no auspiciousness is seen anywhere in it. 59
