It is a privilege to be associated with Ujjain, the city of Mahakal: Chief Minister Mohan Yadav
In his address, the Chief Minister said that it is a matter of good fortune for any person to be associated with Ujjain and the city of Baba Mahakal. He said that not only humans but also the gods wish to get the opportunity to reside in Ujjain.
He said that the environment of the country is changing under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Earlier people used to wait only for big events and festivals, but today there is a festive atmosphere throughout the year. Religious tourism is increasing rapidly and spiritual cities like Ujjain are attracting people from within the country and abroad.
The Chief Minister said that the government wants to do such development work whose benefits will reach the coming generations. He said that with the grace of Baba Mahakal, even an ordinary person can reach a high position in life. Connecting with the city of Mahakal is a special coincidence in itself and preparations for Simhastha 2028 are being made in this spirit.
While sharing the old experiences of Simhastha, he narrated an interesting story.
Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav, while sharing his old experiences, said that in the year 1980, he had served in Simhastha as a member of Scout-Guide. After this, he was also a part of the Simhastha Committee in the year 1992 Simhastha.
He mentioned an interesting incident where once while entering the office a senior employee stopped him. When he told his name as Mohan Yadav, the employee said that he knew the real Mohan Yadav and his children would be of your age. After a long explanation the situation became clear and he was allowed to go inside.
The Chief Minister said that the purpose of this incident is to tell that earlier people from different sections of the society were included in the Simhastha Committee. This time too, the government wants to form such committees, in which not only representatives of Ujjain but also experienced people from other areas should be included, so that the event can benefit from everyone’s experiences.
Special emphasis on roads, ghats, railways and accommodation arrangements for Simhastha 2028
The Chief Minister said that there has been a lot of change in Ujjain with time. Earlier there were very few hotels in the city and arranging accommodation for the devotees was a big challenge, but now the circumstances are changing. The government is expanding accommodation facilities so that the large number of devotees coming can get better arrangements. He said that the major roads of the city have been widened so that the traffic remains smooth. The bathing system has also been made much better than before. Various places of worship have been expanded to facilitate the devotees for darshan.
The Chief Minister said that earlier the stream of Kshipra river used to change its course many times due to mud, which affected the arrangements. Now after construction of permanent ghat, this problem has ended to a great extent. The system of allocation of Dharamshalas is also being made more transparent so that the needy devotees can easily get the facilities. He also said that the benefits of development in the railway sector will also be available in Simhastha this time. Due to better rail connectivity, movement of devotees will be easier than before.
Successful event will be organized in coordination with neighboring states
Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav said that Simhastha is not just an event of Ujjain or Madhya Pradesh but is a great festival of faith of the entire country. Therefore, better coordination with neighboring states is very important for its successful operation. He expressed confidence that with the cooperation of all departments, experts and society, the Simhastha of the year 2028 will establish a new identity in front of the country and the world as a historic, well-organized and grand event.
