Under the CM Teerth Yatra Scheme, a new group of elderly pilgrims departed for holy destinations, receiving countless blessings for Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and his government. Punjab Finance Minister Harpal Singh Cheema shared on social media that the senior citizens expressed heartfelt gratitude as their long-cherished dream of visiting sacred places was fulfilled by the Mann government.
Free Pilgrimage for Senior Citizens
The initiative aims to provide free travel and arrangements for senior citizens to visit prominent pilgrimage sites across the country. The Punjab government has been actively ensuring that elderly citizens, especially those from humble backgrounds, can undertake spiritual journeys without financial burden.
CM Bhagwant Mann personally flagged off the group, symbolizing the government’s commitment to serving the elderly and promoting cultural and spiritual well-being in society. The scheme has been widely appreciated for its humane and inclusive approach.
A Step Towards Social Welfare and Respect for Elders
The Mann government’s Teerth Yatra Scheme reflects its broader goal of ensuring dignity and joy for senior citizens in their later years. Many beneficiaries shared emotional messages, thanking the Chief Minister for making their dream of visiting revered temples and holy shrines come true.
Officials mentioned that the state is planning to expand the scheme further, allowing more elderly citizens to benefit in the coming months. The initiative stands as a testament to the government’s philosophy of ‘Seva and Samman’ (Service and Respect) towards the people of Punjab.
Government’s Welfare Vision for All
This pilgrimage scheme adds to a series of welfare measures launched by the Mann administration — including free electricity, affordable healthcare, and farmer support programs — positioning Punjab as a model for people-focused governance.
