Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath will visit Hapur and Meerut on Saturday to review Ganga Mela preparations in Garhmukteshwar and attend an ex-servicemen’s event in Meerut Cantonment, according to a report by the Times of India citing the scheduled programme.
The Chief Minister is expected to inspect arrangements for the Purnima Ganga Mela across the Kachcha Ghat, Lathira and Garhmukteshwar areas. He will also hold a meeting with officials during the visit to review preparations for devotees, including safety, convenience and hygiene measures.
Yogi will arrive at Hindon Airport in Ghaziabad from Lucknow on Saturday morning and travel by helicopter to the Ganga Mela site in Garhmukteshwar, Hapur. The inspection will focus on the arrangements being made across the mela areas ahead of the gathering.
The event is expected to draw a large number of devotees, making crowd management, sanitation and essential public facilities key administrative responsibilities. The report did not provide details of the planned capacity, deployment of personnel, sanitation infrastructure or traffic arrangements at the mela site.
After the Hapur visit, the Chief Minister will travel to Meerut Cantonment. He is scheduled to arrive at the RVC Ground and proceed to Kulwant Singh Stadium for an ex-servicemen’s reunion between noon and 1pm. Ex-servicemen, Veer Naris and their family members are expected to attend the event.
The programme will honour the contributions of former service personnel and recognise the role of the Central and state governments in supporting soldiers and their families. Yogi is also scheduled to visit the Badminton Hall in the Meerut Cantonment area.
The Chief Minister will later travel by helicopter from the RVC Ground to Chaudhary Charan Singh University and proceed by road to the Shastri Nagar residence of Minister of State (Independent Charge) Somendra Tomar. He will pay tribute there to Tomar’s late father before departing for Aligarh from the university helipad.
