Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav has said that the government will ensure tight security arrangements for all Kanwar Yatris, along with appropriate facilities. Instructions in this regard have already been issued. Chief Minister Dr. Yadav on Friday participated in Kanwar Yatra from Triveni Shani Mandir, Ujjain. He welcomed Kanwar Yatris with a shower of flowers. Chief Minister Dr. Yadav performed worship of Kanwar, lifted it, and along with Mahamandaleshwar of Agni Akhada, Saint Shri Uttam Swami, began Kanwar Yatra by walking on foot.
Chief Minister Dr. Yadav said that tradition of celebrating all festivals with enthusiasm has been initiated by the state government. With blessings of God and saints, preparations for Simhastha-2028 in Ujjain are being carried out rapidly. We are making all preparations with the thought that even if events like Simhastha are held every year after 2028, there should be no difficulty. Chief Minister Dr. Yadav said that keeping in view Simhastha-2028, a "Simhastha Dharmik City" is also being constructed in Ujjain for setting up ashrams and other arrangements for saints, so that convenient facilities can be ensured for large number of devotees visiting Ujjain.
