UP CM Yogi Adityanath offers prayers at Kaal Bhairav temple in Varanasi

UP CM Yogi Adityanath offers prayers at Varanasi's ancient Kaal Bhairav temple, conducts public grievance hearings, and flags off green waste vehicles in Lucknow.

"In the last 9 years, Lucknow has achieved new heights of development. - CM Yogi Adityanath"

Varanasi, April 4

Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Saturday offered prayers at the Kaal Bhairav temple in Varanasi.

The Kaal Bhairav Temple in Varanasi is one of the city's most ancient and revered shrines, dedicated to Kaal Bhairav, a manifestation of Lord Shiva. Known as the Kotwal (guardian) of Kashi, Kaal Bhairav is believed to be the protector of the city.

Devotees believe that worshipping Kaal Bhairav removes fears, grants protection, and liberates one from negative energies.

Earlier on Thursday, he personally reviewed dozens of public grievances during a 'Janta Darshan' program held at the Gorakhnath Temple premises. It was earlier held at the CM's residence in Lucknow on Monday, where he interacted with the citizens as part of his routine outreach programme.

During Janta Darshan, people expressed their problems and presented their issues before the CM, as he listened to their grievances and issued directions to the officials for resolving them.

CM Yogi, after being elected as the CM of Uttar Pradesh, frequently conducts the 'Janata Darshan' program.

Menawhile, CM Yogi Adityanath on March 25, flagged off 250 electric and CNG vehicles powered by environmentally friendly green energy for better waste management by the Lucknow Municipal Corporation in Lucknow.

Addressing the event, the CM highlighted the development of Lucknow over the past nine years, emphasising improved living standards, infrastructural growth, and enhanced safety measures.

"In the last 9 years, Lucknow has achieved new heights of development. In nine years, the scope of Lucknow city has expanded, it has helped improve the standard of living of the people living here, and metro operations have started in Lucknow," said CM Yogi.

He emphasised his administration's commitment to sustainable development and solar energy integration across the state.

"Ayodhya city has been developed as a solar city, and Lucknow is also being made solar-equipped on the same lines... There is less discussion of good works, but we will do it so that it increases encouragement," the Chief Minister stated.

Focusing on urban safety, the CM touted the successful implementation of Smart City technologies and LED lighting in the state, drawing a contrast with previous governments, saying, "For those who had the habit of pulling off robberies in the darkness of night, the darkness was just fine. We, however, are worshippers of the sun... We have put LED street lights in every municipal council".

The focus on electric vehicles and solar energy for Lucknow and Ayodhya is a very positive step. Sustainable development is crucial. Hope this model is replicated across other cities in UP and India.

Jai Bhole Nath! 🙏 Visiting such ancient temples brings positive energy and sets a good example. Kaal Bhairav is indeed the protector of Kashi. Good to see our leaders upholding our traditions while also working on modern infrastructure.

The LED street lights point is well made. Safety has definitely improved in my area of Lucknow after they were installed. The 'Janta Darshan' is a great initiative, but the real test is how many of those grievances get resolved on the ground. Hope the officials follow through.

While the development works are appreciated, there is sometimes a gap between announcement and execution. I hope the new CNG/electric waste vehicles actually lead to cleaner streets and not just remain a photo-op. A respectful request to focus on consistent implementation.

As a resident of Varanasi, it feels special when leaders visit our ancient temples. It brings attention to our cultural heritage. The combination of spiritual faith and a push for solar energy is an interesting and positive mix for the state's identity.
