In a review meeting, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath directed officials to ensure that all work related to the world-famous Khichdi Mela, scheduled for Makar Sankranti at the Gorakhnath Temple, is completed by December 20.

He emphasized that the safety, convenience, and comfort of devotees attending the Mela should be the top priority, ensuring they do not face any difficulty.

Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath held a review meeting with the Mayor and Officials regarding the preparations for the Khichdi Mela in the Gorakhnath Temple’s auditorium on Saturday morning.

Speaking on the occasion, the Chief Minister stated that the Khichdi Mela at the Gorakhnath Temple is linked with the faith of followers of the Sanatan Dharma not only in eastern UP (Purvanchal) but also in Bihar, Nepal, and across the country.

“In view of this, all basic amenities should be arranged at the Mela to provide better facilities to the devotees visiting the Mela. Live broadcast of the Mela will be available through Doordarshan and All India Radio, and for those who are unable to attend the Mela can participate virtually,” he said.

In the meeting, CM Yogi also added that, like every year, Khichdi Mela Special Trains will be operated for the convenience of devotees.
