The officiating members of Ganga Mahasabha were elated over the first visit of Ram Nath Kovind as the President. Speaking to The Pioneer, president of Ganga Mahasabha said, “We are fortunate that the President is visiting Har Ki Pauri, he would also spend some time in the Ganga Mahasabha office at Har Ki Pauri. As per the schedule, he’d be arriving at 3:55 pm and leaving at 4:10 pm after the Ganga worship.” The Ganga Sabha members have prepared a special stage near Brahmkund from where the President would be performing the ritual.
