BJP State President and MLA, Rai, Sh. Mohan Lal Badoli, said that the Mukhyamantri Teerth Darshan Yojana is proving to be a boon for elderly people across the state. Under the guidance of Chief Minister, Sh. Nayab Singh Saini, senior citizens above 60 years of age are being taken on pilgrimages to various holy sites under this scheme. So far, a large number of elderly people have drawn benefits of this scheme.
Sh. Mohan Lal Badoli was addressing the pilgrims before flagging off the bus carrying 47 elderly pilgrims from Sonipat to Ayodhya Dham on Saturday.
He stated that the scheme deserves immense praise and noted that other states are also adopting it. He highlighted the richness of India’s civilization and culture, with its ancient religious sites that hold significant mythological importance. Every religiously inclined person wishes to pay obeisance at such places. Under this scheme, the government is providing free pilgrimage tours to senior citizens above 60 years of age. This scheme is available to families with an annual income of up to Rs. 1.8 lakh.
He also mentioned that the Chief Minister has also started the Happy Card scheme through which poor families can travel up to 1,000 kms for free in a year. This scheme is also proving to be a boon for the poor.
