Punjab Expands Mukh Mantri Tirath Yatra Yojana with 15 New Buses

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann and AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal recently flagged off 15 buses from Hoshiarpur to help with religious trips. This is an expansion of Mukh Mantri Tirath Yatra Yojana. The scheme provides free travel, food, and stay for pilgrims.

## Travel details

These buses carry people from Hoshiarpur, Jalandhar, Kapurthala, Pathankot, and Gurdaspur. They travel to places like Haridwar-Rishikesh, Mathura-Vrindavan, and Salasar-Shri Khatu Shyam. Under this government scheme, people aged 50 or older can travel with up to two family members. The government plans to help 1.5 lakh people travel in the coming months. This follows Phase I where four lakh pilgrims visited Sri Amritsar Sahib and Sri Anandpur Sahib-Naina Devi.
