In recent years, Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath of Uttar Pradesh has made it even more special. He has raised its status and made sure it runs smoothly. This has brought the yatra into the national spotlight.

CM Yogi has worked hard to help the devotees, called Kanwariyas. He has set up good arrangements for their safety, health, and comfort. There are more police patrols on the roads. Cleanliness drives keep the paths neat. Health camps provide medical help along the way. CM Yogi himself welcomes the pilgrims. He showers flower petals on them from helicopters as a sign of respect. He also flies over the routes to check if everything is okay.
