The country is in full swing of preparations for the festival of colours, Holi, which is soon coming. In Braj, Mathura, Holi showers can be seen in the days leading up to and following the holiday. A Gopal Jayanti festival will take place at the Ramanreti Ashram in Mahavan, the fabled playground of Lord Krishna, for a number of days.
Yogi to attend Lathmar
Yogi Adityanath, the chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, is expected at the Lathmar Holi celebration on February 28 in Mathura. The district administration and police force have been put on high alert in advance of the CM’s visit.
There are six zones and 14 sectors in the security plan. In order to prevent any disruption with the Holi celebrations, 2,750 security men have been deployed.
The areas where Lathmar, Gulal, Abir, and flowers will be played during Holi were all inspected by Mathura District Magistrate Pulkit Khare and SSP Shailesh Pandey. Moreover, Holika Dahan’s sites were inspected. According to the revised traffic conditions, there have been a number of areas where barricades have been put in place.
Social worker Sameer claims that devotion can be seen at Braj, where people from all across the nation travel to celebrate Holi. To maintain law and order, members of social organisations should step forward and collaborate with the district administration and police.
Holi celebration in Agra
In Agra as well, Holi preparations have started. The Covid pandemic had an influence on Holi celebrations in the city, but Vishal Sharma, secretary of the Agra Tourist industry Welfare Chamber, told India Today that the joy is evident this time. He urged people to assist the administration fully so that Holi celebrations will be enjoyable.
Agra Range IG Nachiketa Jha visited Mathura, Barsana, Vrindavan, and other sites to issue directions to SSP Mathura Shailesh Pandey so that no untoward occurrence occurs on Lathmar Holi in Barsana (Mathura).
