No one should be troubled during Kumbh: Uttarakhand CM
Following COVID-19 precautions is necessary during the ongoing Haridwar Kumbh but no one should be deprived of taking a holy dip in the Ganga during it, Uttarakhand Chief Minister Tirath Singh Rawat said on Sunday. The new Chief Minister also announced that his government has decided to withdraw cases against 4,500 people booked for allegedly violating the COVID-19 guidelines during the lockdown.
Our government is dedicated toward a successful Kumbh: CM Rawat
Rawat's statement came while reiterating his government's commitment to ensuring a grand Kumbh in Haridwar which is held once in 12 years and is a significant occasion for the entire world. The government is taking steps to increase the number of buses and trains to Haridwar. Previously, Rawat's government's arrangements for Maha Shivratri were appreciated by the public and seers besides the trading community.
The credit goes to PM Modi: CM Rawat
Referring to Prime Minister Narendra Modi's unique working style, Rawat said, "It is the PM's unique working style which gave rise to the Modi hai to mumkin hai slogan." The CM said it is because of PM's eagerness to hold a grand Kumbh in Haridwar that he got the seers, taking holy dips in the Ganga at Brahmkund on Maha Shivratri, from a helicopter.
Government's work for Haridwar Kumbh being appreciated
Rawat also said service to people translates to service to God and in the time to come, Prime Minister Modi would be hailed all over the world for his service to the nation. All-India Akhara Parishad chief Mahant Narendra Giri too praised the government's work for the Haridwar Kumbh and said efforts must be made to better it than Allahabad Kumbh.
