Kurukshetra to get ring road facility soon: Haryana CM Nayab Saini

Haryana CM announces rapid progress on Kurukshetra ring road with PM Modi's ₹250 crore funding, transforming the holy city into global spiritual destination ahead of Gita Mahotsav.

"Kurukshetra is no longer just a pilgrimage site but is emerging as a global centre of attraction - CM Nayab Singh Saini"

Chandigarh, November 3

Considering the increasing number of devotees visiting Kurukshetra, the work on the proposed Ring Road project in the holy city is progressing rapidly. The Detailed Project Report (DPR) is almost complete. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has sanctioned Rs. 250 crore for the development of Kurukshetra, giving a new identity to the sacred city, Haryana Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini said. The Chief Minister said that during a public rally held in Kurukshetra in 2014, Prime Minister Narendra Modi had remarked that Kurukshetra, the birthplace of the Bhagavad Gita, should receive global recognition.

Acting on this vision, the State Government has implemented several initiatives to give Kurukshetra international prominence. Today, the holy land attracts a large number of tourists and devotees not only from across India but also from abroad. The Gita Jayanti Mahotsav has now earned worldwide recognition. He further stated that the city is being developed in a grand and attractive manner. The Anubhav Kendra at Jyotisar, based on the epic events of the Mahabharata era, is almost complete.

On November 25, Prime Minister Narendra Modi will visit Kurukshetra on the occasion of the 350th martyrdom anniversary of Hind Di Chadar Shri Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji and will also participate in the International Gita Mahotsav. The Chief Minister said that this year, the Ministry of External Affairs is playing a special role in organizing the International Gita Mahotsav. Invitations have been sent to 24 countries through the Ministry.

Responding to a query regarding the Government of India's Krishna Circuit project aimed at promoting tourism, the Chief Minister said that Kurukshetra is no longer just a pilgrimage site but is emerging as a global centre of attraction. Under this project, along with Kurukshetra, plans are also underway for the restoration of Pinjore Gardens in Pinjore and the beautification of Tikkar Tal.

In response to another question, the Chief Minister said that the sacred city is being adorned on the Mahabharata theme. Major intersections are being named after characters from the Mahabharata, and murals depicting scenes from the epic are being created across the city. This will allow visiting devotees and tourists to experience the legendary events of that era in a vivid and immersive manner.

₹250 crore is a significant investment. While infrastructure is important, I hope they also focus on basic amenities for pilgrims - clean drinking water, proper sanitation facilities, and affordable accommodation. Development should be holistic.

The Mahabharata theme development is brilliant! Naming intersections after epic characters and creating murals will make the spiritual experience more immersive. Can't wait to visit with my family once these projects are complete. 🚗✨

As someone who visited Kurukshetra last year, the traffic situation was quite challenging. A ring road will definitely improve the experience for both domestic and international tourists. Good to see the government prioritizing our cultural heritage sites.

International Gita Mahotsav with 24 countries participating! This is exactly what our spiritual heritage needs - global recognition. Kurukshetra deserves to be on the world tourism map. Jai Shri Krishna! 🙌

While the project sounds promising, I hope the environmental impact is properly assessed. Development should not come at the cost of the natural surroundings. The Tikkar Tal beautification should maintain ecological balance.
