Delhi government has formed a five member committee to ensure improved facilities for the Kanwar Yatra, Chief Minister Rekha Gupta said on Saturday.
Gupta has reconstituted the high-level Kanwar Committee, under the leadership of Minister of Culture Kapil Mishra, to ensure that the upcoming Kanwar Yatra is conducted in a smooth, safe, well-organised and spiritually enriching manner.
“Delhi government will once again ensure dignified and improved facilities for Shiva devotees during the holy month of Shravan. Special assistance will also be provided to Kanwar camps for this purpose,” the chief minister said.
She said the government’s primary objective is to ensure that every Kanwariya entering Delhi is treated as an honoured guest and provided with the best possible facilities and services.
“The committee’s primary focus will be on route management, quality of waterproof tents, availability of medical facilities, uninterrupted 24-hour power and water supply,” Gupta said in a statement.
The chief minister also informed that the committee will soon hold review meetings with District Magistrates, Delhi Police, the Public Works Department, Health Department and other concerned senior officials to review the arrangements.
Kanwar Yatra usually starts at the end of July and goes on for a month.
