Lucknow. The confusion that has been going on for so many days regarding the Kanwar Yatra has finally ended. In view of the danger of corona infection, the Supreme Court directed the state government to reconsider the conditional permission. The government may not have wanted to take a tough decision on its part to stop the travel. Talks were held with Kanwar unions only. On this, the unions themselves have postponed the Kanwar Yatra. Under the religious tradition of Sawan month, the Kanwar Yatra was proposed from July 25.
The Uttarakhand government banned the journey, but the Yogi government gave conditional permission for it. It was decided that negative report of RTPCR would be mandatory for Kanwariyas. Along with this, an appeal was made to the Kanwar Sanghas that at least the devotees should participate in the Yatra. Here, there is a possibility of a third wave of corona infection. Delta Plus cases are on the rise in many states. In view of this, the Supreme Court took suo moto cognizance and issued a notice to the UP government. In the reply filed on Friday, the government made arguments like following the Kovid protocol to prevent infection, negative report of RTPCR. Despite this, the Supreme Court directed the government to reconsider the permission for Kanwar Yatra with the argument of safety of life more than religious event. The next hearing was to be held on Monday. Here, the Yogi government did not want to postpone the journey by itself. The Chief Minister directed the officers to talk to the Kanwar unions. Be on the side of the possibility of increasing corona infection. An official spokesperson said that on the appeal of the government, the Kanwar unions have decided to postpone the yatra. It is noteworthy that due to the outbreak of Corona, the Kanwar Yatra could not go out even last year.
At the same time, more than two dozen religious organizations of the state had decided not to take out Kavad Yatra this time in the month of Sawan. In this regard, all these organizations had also handed over a letter to the ADCP Vikas Tripathi of Varanasi. These organizations have planned to do a symbolic program this time. Mahant Narendra Giri, president of Akhil Bharatiya Akhara Parishad, Prayagraj also made this appeal in a letter issued on Saturday morning. Mahant Narendra Giri said that Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has talked about following religious traditions, but the threat of corona virus infection is warning us that we should follow our religion symbolically by staying at our homes. Do it.
He has requested all the Kanwar Yatris and Shiva devotees to stay in their respective homes and follow the rituals and rituals by staying within a limited radius. Due to the fear of the third wave of corona virus infection, the Akhil Bharatiya Akhara Parishad has appealed to the Kanwar unions not to take them out on the Kanwar Yatra this time. Council President Mahant Narendra Giri and General Minister Hari Giri said that the kanwariyas should organize this event in a symbolic way. He can perform Jalabhishek in pagodas around the house. In view of the possibility of the third wave coming, it is okay to postpone the Kanwar Yatra. My request to Shiva devotees is that you should anoint Gangajal in the pagodas of your village or anoint Gangajal by establishing Shivling in your homes.
