Haridwar, Uttarakhand: Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami on Wednesday reviewed ongoing preparations for the upcoming Kanwar Yatra, emphasizing administrative coordination, security, and cleanliness during the religious pilgrimage. Addressing the media, the CM described the Yatra as a significant event for the state and reaffirmed the government’s commitment to ensuring its smooth and safe conduct.

“Kanwar Yatra is very important for us. We hold a major Kanwar Mela. People from across the country come here. The centre for this is Haridwar and the adjoining areas,” he said. He added that in light of the scale of the Yatra, several logistical and security arrangements are required.

The Chief Minister stated that review meetings have been held with senior officials from the police and district administration, with inter-state coordination also being addressed. “This year too, we have been holding review meetings… I had a meeting with all departments in Haridwar in the recent past. Senior officers held an inter-state meeting before that,” he noted.

Dhami urged participants to maintain cleanliness and follow Yatra regulations, adding, “We welcome everyone. Our verification drive (of vendors) is ongoing. We want Kanwar Yatra to be clean like every Yatra.”
