Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta on Monday said no nuisance will be tolerated during Kanwar Yatra, days after glass shards were found scattered along a stretch of the yatra route in Shahdara.

Speaking at an event, Gupta warned against creating any obstacle in the yatra and said that her government is committed to providing facilities to kanwariyas.

“There were glass shards found scattered on a Kanwar Yatra stretch for around 400 metres. No nuisance will be tolerated. If any security hurdle or obstacle is created in Kanwar Yatra, the person will have to answer the government.

“The government will ensure a fully secure and comfortable Kanwar Yatra for Shiv bhakts (devotees). We will give full facilities and welcome kanwariyas,” she said on the sidelines of an event.
