DEHRADUN: Uttarakhand chief minister Trivendra Singh Rawat, in an exclusive conversation with TOI on Wednesday, said that “crystal-clear Ganga water would be the USP” of the Maha Kumbh festival slated to take place in Haridwar.
“Our USP for the Kumbh will be getting pilgrims to experience the crystal-clear water of Ganga river, which would be fit for bathing and drinking. The mesmerising view of Ganga river, clean water and beautiful ghats would be a lifelong cherishing experience for the pilgrims coming for the festival,” the chief minister said.
He added that an amount of around Rs 1,500 crore is being spent on Kumbh-related works in Haridwar. “Majority of the projects are complete whereas some are on the verge of completion.
