New Delhi [India], July 12 (ANI): The Delhi Government on Saturday held a review meeting for the preparations in view of the Kanwar Yatra. According to CM Rekha Gupta all the preparations for the event have been made and electricity up to 1200 units in the Kanwar camp have been made free.
The Delhi CM said that her government has broken the traditions, corruption, and mismanagement of the previous regime. CM Gupta stated that the work done by the Delhi government was "unprecedented" in itself.
"Breaking the tradition of corruption of the previous governments, breaking their tradition of mismanagement, breaking the tradition of troubling the public, the work done by the Delhi government regarding the Kanwar Yatra this time was unprecedented in itself...All the preparations have been done. All the arrangements for the toilets, which we are going to provide in the Kanwar camps, have been done. We have made electricity up to 1200 units free for the Kanwar camps", Rekha Gupta told reporters.
Furthermore, the Delhi CM noted that the people in the national capital are very "happy" and "welcome" gates have been put up at all the entries of Delhi to welcome the Kanwar Yatris.
Rekha Gupta informed that the government had called the people of the Ramlila Sangh and addressed their problems.
"The people are very happy today. Similarly, all the traffic and police arrangements have been made. Welcome gates are being installed at all the entries of Delhi and the government is fully prepared to welcome the devotees of Shiva...In the same way, we have called all the people of Ramlila, Ramlila Sangh, who are associated with the Ramlilas and have listened to their problems today and in the same way, the Delhi government will do all the work for Ramlilas", she said.
AAP Delhi State President Saurabh Bharadwaj on Wednesday criticised the BJP-led Delhi administration for politicising the sacred Kanwar Yatra by defunding long-standing community-run camps and redirecting funds to BJP-backed and affiliated organisations.
Addressing a press conference, senior AAP leader and Delhi State President Saurabh Bharadwaj said, "Every year, we supported all Kanwar camps--irrespective of their political affiliations--by arranging tents, lights, sound systems, furniture, fans, coolers, music systems, and stages. The Kanwar committees only had to focus on 'seva' and managing the prasad distribution. This model ran smoothly for years. I can say with full responsibility that it never mattered whether a Kanwar committee was aligned with Congress, BJP, or AAP--our government helped everyone equally." (ANI)
