In preparation for the upcoming Kanwar Yatra, Chief Minister Rekha Gupta of Delhi has formed a committee chaired by Kapil Mishra, the Minister of Art and Culture. This committee is responsible for ensuring that the annual pilgrimage, which occurs in July and August, is conducted smoothly and safely throughout the Capital. The yatra involves pilgrims traveling primarily on foot to collect holy water from the Ganga and bringing it back to local temples. The CM emphasized the government's commitment to treating every Kanwariya (pilgrim) as an honored guest, ensuring they receive the best facilities and services. The committee will soon convene with various agencies, including district magistrates and the Delhi Police, to discuss critical aspects such as route management, medical facilities, and security arrangements. Notably, the number of approved camps for the yatra has significantly increased from 170 in 2024 to 374 in 2025, reflecting a streamlined approval process. Additionally, the government is providing direct financial assistance to registered camps and free electricity, further enhancing the support for the pilgrims during this significant event.
