Dr Yadav also reviewed the construction of new ghats being constructed on Kshipra river between Shri Angareshwar and Shri Siddhavat. These ghats are being prepared for bathing and other facilities for devotees. Various arrangements are being made at ghats for convenience of devotees.

He instructed the officials that arrangements for changing clothes be made for devotees within approximately 200 meters of newly constructed ghats, along with construction of toilets at convenient locations. He also directed that facilitation centres be developed at intervals of about 200 meters at major ghats, so that devotees do not face any inconvenience.

Chief Minister Dr Yadav instructed officials to ensure steps or other access routes at intervals of about 500 meters around ghats, to make movement of devotees smooth and access to main ghats easier.

He also inspected under-construction bridge between Shri Siddhavat and Shri Angareshwar Temple. Officials informed that construction of the bridge will facilitate smooth movement between both major religious places and provide an alternative route for devotees.

Officials informed that ghats are being constructed with a width of approximately 5 meters for bathing, ensuring sufficient space for movement as well as seating for devotees. Chief Minister Dr Yadav also directed development of seating and other essential facilities at ghats.

CM Dr Yadav has announced on numerous occasions that the Simhastha-2028 would be the best ever. He is leaving no stone unturned to make the religious congregation spectacular, as Ujjain is his hometown, and this would be the first Simhastha in his CM tenure.
