Uttar Pradesh prepares for Kanwar Yatra with extra buses and CCTV surveillance

The Uttar Pradesh government has activated comprehensive arrangements for the Kanwar Yatra, which begins on July 30, as lakhs of pilgrims prepare for the month-long Shravan pilgrimage. The state has directed the Uttar Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation to deploy extra buses to Haridwar and other key routes, while installing CCTV cameras for surveillance. Six major routes have been identified by the Prayagraj Municipal Corporation, with round-the-clock control rooms set up to monitor safety and logistics. The government has also ordered improved facilities at bus stations to accommodate the surge in devotees. These measures aim to ensure smooth travel and safety during the annual event.
