I welcome all the Shiva devotees coming to Haridwar from all over the country. I bow to them." Urging everyone to maintain peace, he said, "My request would be that this is a pilgrimage, and it must be done with a feeling of devotion. I don't think there is any place for any kind of ruckus or disturbance. I feel that most of the Shiv devotees come here with good feelings. It is possible that some miscreants join in and try to defame it, but we are ready to deal with them. I believe that 99 per cent of our Kawad pilgrims come here with good faith and good feelings, and we welcome them, respect them. We also take a pledge to ensure that their journey is completed successfully." (ANI)
