Luxury, AC buses for senior citizens to visit pilgrimage sites near Delhi, says Arvind Kejriwal

The Hindu  

Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday said the government is planning to arrange luxury buses to take senior citizens to pilgrimage sites near the national capital under the government’s Mukhyamantri Tirth Yatra Yojana. We will try to cover pilgrimage sites near Delhi using luxury buses. We’ll ensure luxury and air-conditioned buses are provided so that pilgrims can travel to nearby pilgrimage sites such as Haridwar, Rishikesh, Mathura Vrindavan, and Ayodhya.” The Chief Minister also said many people have the resources to embark on a pilgrimage, but cannot travel on their own. For people who don’t have enough resources, this scheme provides them with an opportunity to embark on at least one pilgrimage in their lifetime,” Mr. Kejriwal said.
