Free Luxury Bus Rides For Senior Citizens To Visit Ayodhya, Other Pilgrimage Sites
Since trains are not connected directly to few pilgrimage sites, senior citizens will get free luxury bus rides to visit the holy places under the Delhi government’s pilgrimage scheme. “I want every elderly person in Delhi to go on a pilgrimage but sometimes, trains are unavailable. So, luxury buses can be used to send them to nearby pilgrimage places like Ayodhya,” Arvind Kejriwal said.
CM Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday met a group of people headed for a pilgrimage to Dwarkadhish Temple in Gujarat at the Thyagraj Stadium here. He asked them to seek blessings for Delhi and the country. More than 71,000 people from Delhi have gone on pilgrimages by 72 trains under the scheme so far, Kejriwal said.
