Nawanshahr/Kathgarh, October 30 (Jatinder Pal Singh Kaler):- The Chief Minister’s Pilgrimage Scheme launched by the Punjab Government is proving to be a boon for people. As part of this initiative, a bus carrying devotees was flagged off today from Jandi village in the Balachaur Assembly constituency for a pilgrimage to holy places.

On this auspicious occasion, senior AAP leader Ashok Kataria flagged off the bus. He extended his heartfelt best wishes to all the devotees and prayed for their comfortable, safe and blessed journey.

Speaking on the occasion, Ashok Kataria said that the Punjab Government, under the leadership of Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann, was working for the welfare of every section of society. Through this scheme, the long-cherished wish of elderly people and devotees to visit holy pilgrimage sites was being fulfilled, particularly for those who had been unable to undertake such journeys due to financial constraints.

He said that the government was providing free arrangements for the devotees' transportation, accommodation and meals. He prayed to the Almighty that all the devotees would benefit from visiting the holy places and return to their homes in high spirits, good health and prosperity.

The Sarpanch of Jandi village, Panchayat members, AAP workers and a large number of villagers were present on the occasion. They appreciated this initiative of the Punjab Government.
