Balachaur, (Samajweekly) (Jatinderpal Singh Kaler): The ‘Mukh Mantri Tirth Yatra Yojana’, launched by the Punjab Government led by Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann to enable the people of the state to visit holy religious places, is proving to be a huge success in the area. In this connection, when the pilgrims from village “Bagowal” of the Balachaur constituency returned after successfully completing their holy pilgrimage, they were accorded a very enthusiastic and warm welcome upon their arrival. On this auspicious occasion, senior Aam Aadmi Party leader Ashok Kataria made a special appearance and extended a grand welcome to the returning pilgrims with utmost respect. The joy of visiting religious places and spiritual peace was clearly visible on the faces of the returning elderly, and they highly praised the excellent arrangements for accommodation and food made by the government during the journey. Returning after enjoying the religious journey, the pilgrims expressed their heartfelt gratitude to constituency MLA Santosh Kataria, senior AAP leader Ashok Kataria, and youth leader Karanveer Kataria, along with the entire Punjab Government, for this historic and pro-people initiative. The devotees emotionally stated that the respect bestowed by the government upon the elderly by providing a free pilgrimage at this stage of their lives is a highly commendable and unprecedented step, for which they will always remain indebted to the government.
