Millions of pilgrims benefiting from the CM Pilgrimage Scheme : Vipul Goel

New Delhi : The train departing from Sirsa for Takht Sachkhand Sri Hazur Sahib Nanded under the Haryana Chief Minister’s Pilgrimage Scheme arrived at Delhi’s Safdarjung Railway Station late Friday night. Fifty-six pilgrims from Sonipat and Panchkula districts, beneficiaries of the Haryana Chief Minister’s Pilgrimage Scheme, departed on this train. At Safdarjung Railway Station, Haryana’s Urban Local Bodies Minister, Vipul Goel, welcomed and greeted the pilgrims and wished them a pleasant journey.

Speaking before the train’s departure, Urban Local Bodies Minister, Vipul Goel, said that the Chief Minister’s Pilgrimage Scheme is a wonderful initiative of the Haryana government. Millions of pilgrims from Haryana are benefiting from this scheme. Beneficiaries of this scheme have already visited spiritual places like Ayodhya, Prayagraj, and Nanded. He said that the scheme cannot be praised enough. The popularity of the scheme can be gauged from the fact that other states are also following suit. India’s civilization and culture are rich, with thousands of years of religious sites that hold mythological significance. Every religious person desires the opportunity to visit such places. The government has provided this opportunity. He stated that under this scheme, the government is providing free pilgrimages to senior citizens over the age of 60. This scheme covers families with an annual income of ₹180,000 or less.

Urban Local Bodies Minister Vipul Goel welcomed and greeted the pilgrims at the station with a shower of flowers. He spoke with each devotee and inquired about their thoughts on the pilgrimage. He stated that the pilgrims are extremely enthusiastic about the pilgrimage. The pilgrimage began in Sirsa, where a large number of pilgrims departed. Devotees from Fatehabad, Bhiwani, Hisar, Rewari, and Gurugram also joined. Amid chants of praise and hymns, the procession departed for Takht Huzur Sahib, Sri Nanded Sahib. Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini flagged off the pilgrimage from Sirsa. Following this, devotees from other districts also boarded the train. They were delighted to see 56 pilgrims depart from Safdarjung Railway Station. Of these, 49 were from Sonipat and 7 from Panchkula. All pilgrims thanked Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini and the Haryana government. Minister Vipul Goel stated that all the pilgrims he spoke with praised the pilgrimage.

Urban Local Bodies Minister Vipul stated that interested pilgrims must register for the Chief Minister’s Pilgrimage Scheme by visiting the Antyodaya Saral portal. Once eligible individuals are registered, they will be contacted by the department as soon as the pilgrimage begins.
