During his visit, he also inaugurated Atal Residential Schools, planted a tree, distributed school bags to students, and inspected a 'Gaushala' in the district.
On March 29, CM Yogi announced plans to celebrate Chaitra Ramnavami, a significant Hindu festival, with special religious observances. He directed officials to organize a 24-hour Akhand Path of Ramcharitmanas in temples across all districts of Uttar Pradesh.
"Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has given instructions to organize a 24-hour Akhand Paath of Shri Ramcharitmanas in all the districts on the auspicious occasion of Chaitra Ramnavami," stated the Chief Minister's Office. The initiative aims to enhance the spiritual and cultural atmosphere, offering devotees a deeply religious experience. The recitation will begin on April 5 and conclude on April 6, aligning with the Shri Ramnavami festivities. To ensure a seamless event, necessary arrangements are being made in temples across the state.
Beyond religious celebrations, Adityanath has also instructed officials to provide an uninterrupted 24-hour electricity supply during Chaitra Navratri. "The Chief Minister directed that uninterrupted 24-hour electricity supply should be provided uniformly in the entire state during Chaitra Navratri," the CMO statement added.
Additionally, he stressed the need to maintain cleanliness around temples and strictly prohibited the sale of eggs, meat, and other non-vegetarian products in temple vicinities. "He also said that there should not be shops of eggs, meat etc around the temples, and also ensure that there is no illegal slaughtering anywhere," the statement from the Chief Minister’s Office confirmed.
