Uttar Pradesh Deputy Chief Minister Shri Keshav Prasad Maurya held a review meeting today at the Circuit House in Prayagraj with the District Magistrate, police officials, and senior representatives from relevant departments. The meeting focused on preparations for the grand 'Deepotsav' (festival of lights) and 'Shringverpur Mahotsav' to be held at the Bharadwaj Ashram and Shringverpur Dham. Discussions covered ensuring a grand, magnificent, and well-organized event, alongside addressing key aspects such as facilities for devotees, security, traffic management, and law and order.
Deputy Chief Minister Shri Maurya directed officials to complete all preparations for the events at Bharadwaj Ashram and Shringverpur Dham within the stipulated timeframe. He emphasized that the convenience of the devotees and the general public attending the events must be the top priority. He instructed that adequate arrangements be made for the movement of devotees, smooth traffic flow, parking, drinking water, lighting, sanitation, medical facilities, and security. He further urged police and administrative officials to work in close coordination to ensure robust law and order.
Shri Maurya specifically directed that a free bus service be arranged for the movement of devotees from Prayagraj to Shringverpur Dham on November 6, 7, and 8, 2026. He emphasized that the operation of these buses should be well-managed to ensure that as many devotees as possible can attend the festival with ease and convenience. He also instructed officials to ensure widespread publicity regarding the bus service, designated stops, and other essential information.
The Deputy Chief Minister noted that Shringverpur Dham is a significant center of our rich cultural and spiritual heritage, deeply linked to the episode of Lord Shri Ram’s departure for the forest and his sacred friendship with Nishadraj. Such events help bring renewed recognition to the state’s religious, cultural, and historical legacy. He added that it is the administration's responsibility to ensure that excellent facilities are provided to every devotee attending the event.
