CM Pushkar Singh Dhami orders verification of madrasas in Uttarakhand

Dehradun: The Uttarakhand government led by Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami has ordered a comprehensive verification of madrasas operating across the State to ensure that all educational institutions are in compliance with legal requirements and regulations.

To ensure that all institutions adhere to the legal framework, Chief Minister Dhami emphasised that strict action will be taken against those found running madrassas without proper authorisation

Speaking to the media on Thursday, CM Dhami said, “We have given clear instructions for the verification of madrasas in the State. We will take strict action against those found running madrassas illegally.”

The verification process will likely involve assessing the credentials of madrassas, their infrastructure, and their adherence to educational norms and government regulations.

Additionally, the Uttarakhand Chief Minister also responded to Samajwadi Party (SP) Chief Akhilesh Yadav’s statement on the Maha Kumbh. “Those who have fired on karsevaks, those who are



against the Ram Mandir, will not understand the importance of Kumbh. One should not talk like this, whoever goes to Kumbh will be great. This will be a grand event under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath,” he said.

As preparations for the Maha Kumbh in Prayagraj gain momentum, Indian Railways has announced robust arrangements to ensure the safe and efficient travel of millions of devotees to and from the holy city.

Dilip Kumar, Executive Director of Information and Publicity, Railway Board, shared details of the comprehensive plan to handle the unprecedented rush.

The official said that the Indian Railways will operate more than 10,000 trains, including 3,300 special trains, to cater to the large number of passengers travelling for the Sangam Snan, one of the most significant events of the Mahakumbh. Kumar said that special measures have been put in place to manage crowds, including colour-coded waiting and holding areas at stations for unreserved passengers.
