Madhya Pradesh Transport Minister and in-charge of Ujjain district Bhupendra Singh claimed that the Ujjain Simhastha is the first Simhastha Mahakumbh of the country wherein all the development works done are permanent.
Singh, who appeared for the first time before the Ujjain media on Saturday said, “Ujjain Simhastha is the first Simhastha Mahakumbh of the country in which the development works done are permanent and assured that the incomplete Simhastha construction works would be completed 90 per cent by January 31.”
He further said that the security arrangements if the city are perfect and there seems no need for appointment of an additional Superintendent of Police (SP) because during the Simhastha 25 IPS officers and 25 thousand police personnel would be deployed to look after the security of the city and I am satisfied with the preparations pertaining to security by the police administration, he added.
The minister in-charge commenting over the ongoing construction works to the tune of over Rs 3000 crore said that after reviewing progress of all departments instructions have been given to speed up the works.
On the issue of purification of Kshipra River Thakur said that nit a single nullah of any type is submerging in it and water of Narmada River would be brought into Kshipra before the Simhastha for that administration is making all efforts. Every sort of facility would be made available for the faithful during the Simhastha, he added.
He said that as far as Saints are concerned I have visited the Akhadas and talked to Saints they seem satisfied with the construction works going on for the Simhastha and that the Government and the administration has not received any complain from the Saints side.
