CM Yogi Adityanath: Yogi Adityanath has given instructions to make sure that all temples across Uttar Pradesh are prepared for Chaitra Navratri 2026, expected to occur on March 19. Each year, a large number of individuals come to participate in the festivities, and the government believes it is necessary to ensure that the activities are conducted in a clean, safe and organised manner to handle a large number of attendees.
The Chief Minister’s order is to start cleaning campaigns around temples
Under the direction of CM Bhagwant Mann Local governments have been asked to send more sanitation workers to places where they are needed to keep things clean during the festival.
Officials have also been told to make sure that the temple grounds are clean and dry by making sure that the trash and drainage systems work properly. The government has also told officials to stop using single-use plastics near places of worship to protect the environment.
Managing crowds and security for Navaratri
The state government has made strong security and crowd control a top priority because there will be a lot of people at Navratri. Police and government officials have been told to keep a close eye on large temples and religious events.
It has been suggested that CCTV cameras be put up in important places to keep an eye on crowds and be ready to act quickly in case of an emergency. There is also a lot of focus on the safety of women devotees, with more police officers in busy areas.
Facilities for Worshippers
CM Yogi Adityanath: Authorities have been told to set up basic services like clean drinking water, temporary mobile toilets, and good lighting around the temple grounds. There will also be rules about vendors and stalls near temples to keep them from getting too crowded.
Officials have been told to make sure that there is always electricity and that public facilities are in good shape, especially at religious sites in Uttar Pradesh that get a lot of visitors.
