Gorakhpur (Uttar Pradesh) [India], June 05: Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has clearly directed that no animal sacrifice should happen in open spaces during Bakrid celebrations this year. These instructions were given during a law and order review at Gorakhnath temple. He stressed that cleanliness and public peace must be kept at all costs. Officials were told to manage all areas properly so that no problems happen on June 7.
Strict Instructions for Clean and Respectful Celebration
The CM also told officers that blood should not be let into drains or open sewers. Clean surroundings and safety are top priorities. Officers must take action if anyone tries to create trouble. The government wants everyone to celebrate in peace and respect each other’s traditions. The message was clear—celebration is fine, but not at the cost of public cleanliness or harmony.
Birthday with Responsibility at Gorakhnath Temple
Yogi Adityanath turned 53 on the same day he gave these strict guidelines. He offered prayers at Gorakhnath temple and remembered Mahant Avaidyanath by offering flowers to his statue. BJP leaders and public supporters gathered to wish him, but his focus stayed on managing law and order. Even during celebration, he chose to work for the people’s safety and comfort.
Ayush University and Yoga Day Preparations Checked
Along with Bakrid instructions, the CM checked updates on Ayush University’s construction. He asked that all work be completed in one week because the President of India is set to inaugurate it on June 30. He also reviewed International Yoga Day planning. The state will broadcast PM Narendra Modi’s address using big LED screens in cities.
Message of Peace and Clean Celebrations for All
This year’s Bakrid comes with a strong message—celebrate in a way that is peaceful and clean. Whether you are part of the festival or just living nearby, these steps aim to keep harmony. From Gorakhpur to Lucknow, officials are ready. But the real success depends on people following these directions in the spirit of respect and togetherness.
