    ● Holding areas have been established at border points to manage crowd pressure in the fair area. Devotees should be allowed to proceed based on the prevailing situation. Arrangements for food and drinking water must be ensured at all holding areas so that no devotee faces any inconvenience. Additionally, uninterrupted electricity supply must be maintained at these locations.

    ● Authorities in districts bordering Prayagraj must strictly enforce the directives issued from Prayagraj. Patrolling should be increased, and traffic should flow smoothly on all major routes, including Ayodhya-Prayagraj, Kanpur-Prayagraj, Fatehpur-Prayagraj, Lucknow-Pratapgarh-Prayagraj, and Varanasi-Prayagraj. All return routes from Prayagraj should remain open and unobstructed at all times.

    ● Traffic must remain smooth within the Mahakumbh Mela area. Unnecessary halts should be avoided, and crowd build-up must be prevented at all locations. There should be no traffic congestion on the roads. If street vendors are occupying pathways, they should be relocated to designated open areas to ensure the continuous flow of movement. No road should face a jam at any point.

    ● The next Amrit Snan is scheduled for Basant Panchami on February 3. The Chief Secretary and Director General of Police should conduct a thorough review of the Mahakumbh Mela arrangements on Thursday. Every aspect related to security and public convenience must be carefully examined to ensure seamless arrangements for Basant Panchami.

Barricading should be used effectively, traffic management should be improved, and adequate parking arrangements must be in place.

    CM Yogi Adityanath: Crores of rupees meant for Jharkhand’s development are found at the houses of JMM minister and Congress MP

    The poor yearn for a trolley of sand and these people engage in illegal mining: Yogi

    Mining-sand mafia are hollowing out Jharkhand, looters will be held accountable for every penny lost: CM

    Sahibganj/Jamtara/Deoghar, November 18

    CM Yogi Adityanath: Atal ji had dreamt of Jharkhand’s development but Congress, JMM and RJD ruined it

    On the final day of the election campaign in Jharkhand, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath launched a scathing attack on the Congress, JMM, and RJD, accusing them of derailing the development envisioned by Atal Bihari Vajpayee for Jharkhand, leaving the resource-rich state lagging in progress. 

    CM Yogi Adityanath
    CM Yogi Adityanath

    “While Jharkhand’s people remained poor, mountains of cash were discovered in the homes of leaders from these parties. Crores were seized from Congress MP and JMM minister Alamgir and his staff—so much that counting machines overheated, requiring 70 machines to handle it. This money was meant for Jharkhand’s development, sent by Modi ji,” he said. 

    CM Yogi Adityanath vowed that after November 23, following the of an NDA government, every looted penny would be recovered and redirected to benefit the people of Jharkhand while infiltrators will be kicked out from the state.   

    Highlighting the illegal activities in Rajmahal, Sahibganj, and surrounding areas, he accused the opposition of turning these regions into safe havens for Bangladeshi infiltrators and Rohingya Muslims. “In BJP-led double-engine governments, there is no place for infiltrators, riots, curfews, or hooliganism—only good governance and prosperity,” he emphasized.  

    CM Yogi Adityanath
    CM Yogi Adityanath

    Drawing parallels with Uttar Pradesh, Yogi stated, “Under the double-engine government in UP, infiltration, cow slaughter, and crimes against women are unthinkable. Anyone attempting such acts is guaranteed a one-way ticket to Yamraj.” He asserted that only the BJP alliance could deliver on these promises, not the Congress or JMM. 

    Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath confidently stated that the first phase of voting signals the formation of a BJP-led NDA government with a clear majority, securing more than two-thirds of the seats. 

    Addressing the crowd, the CM emphasized the “Modi guarantee,” stating that once the BJP government takes power in Jharkhand on November 23, 21 lakh families will be provided with PM housing, and 1.5 lakh government jobs will be advertised. 

    CM Yogi Adityanath
    CM Yogi Adityanath

    He urged voters to prevent infiltrators from entering, assuring that once the BJP is in power, these intruders will be driven out of the state and their leaders will be held accountable. He also warned, “Bate The, Tou Kate The. Ab Batna Nahi Hai,” cautioning against leaders who divide society based on caste, calling them enemies of the nation.

    Yogi further criticized the opposition for allowing infiltration and illegal activities in Jharkhand, stating that while such actions were common before 2014, they no longer occur in India today. 

    He pointed out that while illegal mining and the sand mafia are destroying Jharkhand’s resources, the people continue to struggle. “In UP, strict action is taken against the mafia,” he said. 

    CM Yogi Adityanath
    CM Yogi Adityanath

    He also highlighted how the mining, coal, forest, and land mafias are exploiting Jharkhand, pushing citizens into poverty and ruining the lives of its youth. Under the JMM government, he claimed, the state faces a crisis over basic needs such as food, safety, and land.

    The CM also made a spiritual appeal to the people of Deoghar, saying, “Every pebble of Deoghar is Shankar.” He called for a true devotee of Baba to win in Baba’s city. Attacking the opposition again, Yogi accused the JMM, Congress, and RJD of putting political interests above the welfare of the people, creating insecurity and dishonoring women. 

    “They are promoting love jihad and occupying land in the name of land jihad. There is no such thing in UP. If anyone dares to do this, they will face consequences,” he asserted.

     

    Yogi also praised MP Nishikant Dubey for his efforts and recalled the BJP’s commitment to building the Ram Janmabhoomi temple. “When we said we would build the Ram Mandir, they opposed us, but we have built it. Now, Baba Vishwanath and Krishna Kanhaiya will also not remain silent,” he declared, reaffirming the BJP’s commitment to religious and cultural development.

    Uttar Pradesh sets national benchmark in Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission initiatives

    Uttar Pradesh

    Special (Big Picture Story)

    The state holds the top position in creating Ayushman Bharat Health Accounts (ABHA)

    Uttar Pradesh ranks first in the Health Professional Registry and OPD registrations based on ABHA

    Lucknow leads in operating microsites

    UP tops in Health Facility Registry, ranks second in implementing Electronic Health Records

    Lucknow, October 24:

    In a remarkable transformation over the past seven and a half years, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has led Uttar Pradesh from its former “BIMARU” status to becoming ‘Uttam Pradesh.’ Upon assuming office, his government implemented several key measures aimed at strengthening the state’s healthcare infrastructure and ensuring affordable, quality medical care for its citizens. The impact of these efforts is now evident statewide, with residents no longer needing to seek treatment elsewhere.

    Uttar Pradesh’s rise in healthcare services has been particularly highlighted by its leading position in multiple areas of the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission, cementing its status as a healthcare leader in the country.

    Uttar Pradesh: 12.45 crore ABHA IDs have been created in the state so far

    Health and Medical Secretary Ranjan Kumar stated, “In line with Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s vision, the creation of Health Unique IDs for the citizens of Uttar Pradesh under the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM) is progressing rapidly across the state. As a result, Uttar Pradesh now ranks first nationwide in several key components of the ABDM.”

    He explained, “Uttar Pradesh leads the country in the creation of ABHA IDs, the Health Professionals Registry, the Health Facility Registry, the 100 Microsite Project, and the Scan and Share Module. The state also holds the second position nationally in the implementation of Electronic Health Records.”

    Secretary Ranjan Kumar highlighted that the ABHA initiative has been operational in the state for the past year. To date, Uttar Pradesh has created approximately 12.45 crore ABHA IDs, securing the top spot in the country, with Maharashtra following in second place at 5.46 crore ABHA IDs.

    Additionally, healthcare professionals from various fields, including doctors, nurses, CHOs, ANMs, and ASHA workers, are being registered in the Health Professional Registry (HPR). So far, 74,789 professionals have been registered, placing Uttar Pradesh first in the nation, ahead of Karnataka, which has recorded 58,919 health professional registrations to date.

    So far, 61,015 facilities have been registered in the Health Facility Registry

    Health and Medical Secretary Ranjan Kumar stated that all medical institutions, hospitals, health centers, sub-centers, private hospitals, clinics, and diagnostic centers are being registered in the Health Facility Registry (HFR). With 61,015 facilities already registered, Uttar Pradesh leads the country, achieving 100% registration of all government medical institutions, hospitals, and sub-centers. Karnataka holds second place with approximately 60,743 facilities registered to date.

    Secretary Kumar also highlighted the success of the Scan and Share Module under the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM), which has streamlined registration in government hospitals. The time required for OPD registration has been reduced from about 50 minutes to just 5 minutes, thanks to this system. “Uttar Pradesh ranks first nationwide in the implementation of the Scan and Share Module, with over 1.42 crore tokens generated so far,” he noted. Bihar follows in second place, having generated over 95 lakh tokens.

    35 microsites are being operated across the state

    Out of the 100 microsite projects implemented by the National Health Authority of the Government of India, 35 are currently operating in Uttar Pradesh. These microsites have been introduced to encourage the adoption of the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission (ABDM) in the private healthcare sector. Notably, Uttar Pradesh is contributing the most health records to this system.

    Among these microsites, the capital city, Lucknow, holds the distinction of being the first in the country to achieve its set targets. These microsites not only enhance patient services but also streamline hospital operations through better queue management, hospital management, and data handling, making healthcare systems more transparent and efficient.

    For the creation of Electronic Health Records (EHRs/PHRs), hospitals need to have health management systems compliant with ABDM, enabling smooth patient flow and data management within the facility. To support this, the Lab Information System is being integrated into various hospitals across the state. So far, around 5.25 crore electronic health records have been generated in Uttar Pradesh. The state currently ranks second in India, just behind Andhra Pradesh, which has created 5.32 crore EHRs. However, according to Health Secretary Ranjan Kumar, Uttar Pradesh is poised to take the top spot in the near future.

    These teachers will aim to educate students through vocational skills and practical experiences. This initiative is expected to aid in the academic and personal development of the students.

    Yogi govt

    Under the leadership of Minister of State for Basic Education (Independent Charge) Sandeep Singh, the Basic Education Department conducts this four-day residential training, where teachers are trained in various disciplines.

    The objective behind the initiative is to develop these schools into skill centres as per the guidelines of the National Education Policy 2020. The program aims to help students understand complex subjects like science and mathematics and familiarize them with vocational skills.

    Promoting the holistic development of students is also a key goal. The aim of this initiative is not just to shape them as academicians, but to provide them with opportunities to develop their practical life skills as well.

    In 2022, the pilot project of this program was implemented in 60 schools across 15 districts in which students learned skills in more than 60 activities through four major trades (Engineering and Workshop, Energy and Environment, Agriculture, Nursery and Gardening and Home and Health Care). This effort resulted in a significant increase in students’ practical understanding and interest in these subjects.

    Minister of State for Basic Education (Independent Charge) Sandeep Singh stated that the implementation of this pilot project has not only led to an increase in student attendance in schools, but also brought about a remarkable improvement in their learning levels in science and mathematics.

    “As students acquired vocational and technical skills, they developed a deeper understanding of the subjects, which is now contributing positively to their academic and personal growth”, he further added.

    Inaugurating the training program, ACS Transport L. Venkateshwarlu and special guest Ms. Ekta Singh (IAS) stated that this initiative will prove to be a significant milestone in the skill development of students.

    According to them, it will not only foster scientific thinking and technical skills among students but also empower them with the vocational abilities necessary for future self-reliance.

    This effort to introduce practical education in schools will give a new direction to the state’s education system and help provide students with better employment opportunities, they pointed out.

    The Yogi Adityanath-led government of Uttar Pradesh is taking significant steps to ensure a comfortable experience for devotees attending the Prayagraj Mahakumbh-2025. In addition to the sprawling tent city being set up for visitors, the government is considering introducing state-of-the-art sleeping pods for the first time.

    The Tourism Department has already prepared a detailed road map for this initiative. If everything proceeds as planned, devotees will have access to these innovative sleeping pods, offering them a modern and convenient accommodation option during the grand religious gathering.

    Following the success of sleeping pod facilities at Prayagraj Junction Railway Station, devotees and tourists visiting the Kumbh area will soon be able to enjoy these modern amenities there as well.

    Aparajita Singh, Regional Tourism Officer of Prayagraj, shared that a traditional tent city is being set up at the Parade Ground, while two luxury tent cities are being built on a public-private partnership (PPP) model in Arail and Jhunsi. The response from tourists and devotees has been positive, with 1,600 out of 2,000 tents already booked in Arail.

    These sleeping pods are capsule-shaped chambers equipped with modern amenities designed to meet the needs of travelers. Each air-conditioned pod will provide a comfortable sleeping space, charging ports, and access to drinking water.
