Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav has said that his government was thinking of revising its policies in religious cities in the state and planning to ban liquor in those cities.
CM Yadav stressed that many seers had given suggestions for the same, and the state government was seriously considering stopping the liquor shops within the limits of the religious cities.
“The current budget year is going to end and our government is thinking that we should amend our policy in religious cities and move towards banning liquor from those cities. Many seers have given suggestions and our government is seriously considering that we should close these excise shops within the limits of our religious cities so that we can take concrete steps in the direction of complaints from people regarding the religious environment. We are serious and will take a decision in this regard very soon,” CM Yadav told ANI.
Yesterday, Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav, alongside Union Minister CR Patil, performed the Bhoomi Pujan for the Sevarkhedi-Silarkhedi project worth Rs 614 crore in Ujjain district. This ambitious project aims to ensure a sufficient water level in the Kshipra river and provide adequate drinking water to the people of Ujjain.
Speaking at the event, CM Yadav highlighted the significance of the project, noting that it would allow saints to bathe in the holy Kshipra river during the Simhastha 2028, a long-awaited development. He reflected on past efforts, including using the Gambhir river in 2004 and the Narmada river in 2016 due to the low water levels of the Kshipra. Now, with this project, the Kshipra river will have sufficient water for the sacred bath year-round. He further added that the Madhya Pradesh government would continue to do such public interest activities in the state and extended greetings to the people of the state.
