The Aam Aadmi Party government in Punjab launched the ‘Mukh Mantri Teerth Yatra’ scheme on November 27. It will help people visit holy places across the country. The Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) described the scheme as a “relaunch” of an Akali Dal project in 2016.
Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Singh Mann and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal launched the scheme in Punjab’s Dhuri.
Mr. Mann said the state government started the scheme to help pilgrims visit holy places across the country. A team of doctors, volunteers and officials will be travelling with the pilgrims.
