The Statesman Siliguri
|January 17, 2025
Despite the ongoing Mahakumbh in Uttar Pradesh, the Gangasagar Mela on the shores of the Bay of Bengal has once again proven its status as one of India's premier pilgrimage destinations.
Bankim Chandra Hazra, minister of Sundarban affairs, highlighted this while participating in a beach clean-up drive on Thursday.
Mr Hazra remarked that pilgrims from Uttar Pradesh, where the Mahakumbh is being held, have flocked to Sagar Island for the auspicious Makar Sankranti dip. Alongside him, Snehasis Chakraborty, minister of transport, Pulak Roy, minister of public health engineering, and South 24-Parganas district magistrate Sumit Gupta also joined the clean-up campaign.
