As part of his ongoing “meet-and-greet” outreach programme, Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel visited the Danteshwari temple in Dantewada on Tuesday morning. There he offered a 11 kilometre-long chunari to the deity of the fourteenth-century temple, which is a prominent centre of Hindu pilgrimage in the State.
The government has claimed that the length of the chunari – prepared by over 300 women of DANNEX garments unit, a government-supported garment manufacturing initiative whose units are located in Dantewada – is a world record.
