Naguesh = Published on: April 14, 2010 - 02:01 HARIDWAR: The Goa Chief Minister, Mr Digambar Kamat and his wife on Monday took a dip in the Ganga during the ongoing Kumbh Mela. The Goa Chief Minister and his wife also took part in a religious function at the Chetan Jyoti here. Mr Kamat said he prayed for peace and harmony in the country. Former Rajasthan chief minister and BJP leader, Ms Vasundhara Raje also offered prayers on the banks of the river. Bathing ghats in Rishikesh and the city along the Ganga were teeming with devotees on the occasion of ‘Baisakhi’ as about 50 lakh pilgrims, including foreigners, took holy dip. The DIG Kumbh Mela, Mr Alok Sharma said about 50 lakh pilgrims took bath in the bathing ghats of the river. There was no untoward incident in any part of the vast Kumbh Mela ground. Considering the huge rush of pilgrims for the last royal bath of ‘Mesh Sankranti’ on Wednesday, the administration has made elaborate security and traffic arrangements. Twenty-five companies of PAC, 20 companies of RPF, 10 companies of RAF and ITBP have been deployed along with contingents of state police at the Mela area. The Har-Ki-Pauri area would remain reserved for sadhus belonging to various akharas from 9 a.m. onwards on Wednesday. The three-month-long religious congregation would draw to a close on April 28. Meanwhile, authorities have announced a three-day holiday for the schools within the Mela area, official sources said.
