Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday formally launched the Kailash Mansarovar pilgrim house project. The proposed pilgrim house will be built at Indirapuram. The Chief Minister launched the project from Ramlila Ground in Kavi Nagar area where he addressed a public rally. The new site was identified after the earlier site earmarked near Haj house on GT Road was found to be part of the floodplain of the Hindon River and was also deemed as a lake in revenue records.
“The Indirapuram site for the construction of Mansarovar pilgrims house has been acquired for `50 crore. After adding the estimated `43 crore cost of construction, the pilgrim house is likely to cost the State `93 crore,” the Chief Minister said while addressing the people. Yogi said that the previous Government divided Indian society by ignoring the majority opinion and constructed a Haj house but did nothing for the pilgrims of Mansarovar.
“A deep-rooted conspiracy was hatched to create obstacles in constructing the Hindu pilgrim house through a revenue record controversy. But our Government is committed to building a Kailash Mansarovar pilgrim house here,” he said.
He said that Kailash Mansarovar is the symbol of tourism with unexplored possibilities and Ghaziabad is the appropriate place to start the pilgrimage from here.
“This building will put India on world map as Hindus from all over world would reach national Capital and would start their holy trip to Kailash Mansarovar. Kanwar yatra from Haridwar to Ghaziabad in Western UP is the symbol of communal harmony while Kailash Mansarovar pilgrims house enhance it” Yogi Adityanath said.

Enumerating the achievements of his Government, the Chief Minister said that 93 per cent payment has been made to the farmers of Western UP and 86 lakh farmers would benefit when loan waiver certificate would given to them on September 8 and 11.
