Yogi Adityanath Orders Plastic-Free Vindhyachal Mela With Expanded Surveillance Before Navratri

He set May 31 for completing Maa Vindhyavasini University during an on-site review in Mirzapur.

Overview

  • Adityanath ordered the entire fair precinct to be free of single-use plastic, directing door-to-door garbage collection and cleanliness at ghats and key routes.
  • He instructed arrangements for pilgrim convenience, including districtwide access to clean drinking water, mobile toilets, stronger barricading and lighting, verified e-rickshaws and autos, and courteous policing.
  • Safety deployments along the Ganga were mandated, including NDRF and SDRF teams, divers, water police, and life jackets for boatmen.
  • The district plan divides the fair into 10 zones and 21 sectors supported by 206 CCTV cameras, 6 AI-enabled cameras, 4 drones, control rooms, 21 parking sites, 50 water points, and additional transformers.
  • During site inspections of the Vindhyavasini Corridor and the new university, he warned builders to meet quality standards and noted contractors face 10-year post-handover repair obligations.
