CM Gupta said the Delhi government is set to make a major decision to make the Kanwar Yatra-2026 more organised, safer, and convenient for devotees, according to a release.

In view of the steadily rising influx of pilgrims, inflation, and the increasing cost of running Kanwar camps, the government has proposed a significant enhancement in financial assistance. (ANI)
