CM Yogi Adityanath's Call to Action: Ensuring Safety During Navratri Festivities

In observance of Sharadiya Navratri, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath visited the revered Maa Pateshwari Devi temple in Balrampur district's Tulsipur area. This temple, also called Devi Patan, is one of the 51 Shakti Peethas dedicated to Goddess Durga, attracting numerous devotees during this vibrant festival.

Ahead of the Dussehra celebrations, the Chief Minister instructed law enforcement to adopt stringent measures against those disrupting public order. Adityanath underscored that Dussehra symbolizes the triumph over evil, making it imperative to maintain heightened security, especially during Durga Puja and Ravana Dahan, ensuring public safety is not compromised. He also called for compliance with standards at slaughterhouses through surprise inspections.

CM Yogi directed the district administrations to ensure smooth traffic flow and to prioritize safety during the visits of ministers and public representatives. The significance of Navratri, a celebration of Goddess Durga's divine feminine energy, spans nine days of worship, rituals, and cultural festivities, encouraging devotees to participate in fasting and traditional dances to celebrate the goddess's various forms.
