“Riverside Ghats, including Bharat Ghat, Vishram Ghat and Raghav Prayag Ghat in Chitrakoot will be developed and rejuvenated at Rs 27 crore cost. This will not only further boost the religious tourism potential of the religious town Chitrakoot, but also benefit the 200 Kewat (boatmen) families residing in Chitrakoot,” Yadav said.
“While Rs 50 crore worth development works have already been unveiled for Amarkantak (the origin of sacred river Narmada in Anuppur district), development works worth Rs 25 crore are being announced here for the Maa Pitambara Peeth in Datia district of Gwalior-Chambal region,” Yadav added.
Further, Dr Yadav announced starting a sub divisional magistrate (SDM) office in Chitrakoot and a four-lane road to connect the MP and UP parts of Chitrakoot.
“All encroachments will be removed from Chitrakoot town, including those from the Parikrama Path for ensuring unhindered development of the religious pilgrimage, where Lord Ram, Sita and Laxman are believed to have spent more than 11 years of their exile period.”
