CM Sai expressed that this invitation letter is for the 3 crore people of Chhattisgarh, which is a great fortune for them. He said that participating in Maha Kumbh is always a matter of special significance for them.
He has requested Chief Minister Yogi to arrange a place so that the Chhattisgarh government can set up tents and make provisions for food and refreshments for the people traveling from Chhattisgarh. "This time, the Maha Kumbh will be organised in a unique way, and we all plan to attend. We have requested Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath to arrange a place so that tents can be put up by the Chhattisgarh government so that food and drink can be arranged for the people going from Chhattisgarh," he added.
Organised every 12 years, the Maha Kumbh will be held from January 13 to February 26. Devotees from across the country gather at Prayagraj's sacred Triveni Sangam of the Ganga, Yamuna and mythical Saraswati. The state government has created a new district, Mahakumbh Nagar, comprising 66 villages of four tehsils -- Sadar, Soraon, Phulpur and Karchhana -- for the Kumbh Mela.
