Lucknow, July 8 -- Chief minister Yogi Adityanath carried out an aerial survey of the Kanwar Yatra route in western Uttar Pradesh on Monday and issued instructions to officials afterwards. The chief minister's helicopter took off from the Hindon airport for the survey. The Kanwar Yatra will start on July 11 with the commencement of the Hindu holy month of Shravan or Sawan. The yatra will end on July 23. The state government has instructed officials to cover manholes and drains on all routes through which Kanwariyas will pass. The government has also asked officials to make separate arrangements for restrooms for men and women along the yatra route. Arrangement of meals for the Kanwar Yatris should also be made, the government said. The Kanwar Yatra route mostly falls in western Uttar Pradesh. Police and security personnel will be deployed on the 540-km Kanwar route covering Meerut, Bulandshahr, Baghpat, and Hapur, according to DIG Meerut range Kalanadhi Naithani. A total of 838 rest camps have been set up, including 464 in Meerut, 176 in Bulandshahr, 90 in Baghpat, and 108 in Hapur. During the Kanwar Yatra, Kanwariyas collect water from the Ganga and carry it hundreds of kilometres to offer it to the shrines of Lord Shiva. Meanwhile, UP minister AK Sharna said, "We are ensuring that there are no potholes on the roads, especially in cities along the Kanwar route." "Streetlights are being installed throughout the route. We will ask Kanwar yatris not to make very high DJ setups to avoid coming in contact with high-tension power lines," he added....
