LUCKNOW: Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Wednesday released ‘Prayagraj Kumbh’, a book on 2019 Kumbh.
The book has been edited by Prakash Singh, former director general of police (DGP), UP.
The CM said the book would prove to be a milestone for researchers and those interested in the event. The book has been published by the Indian Council of Social Science Research.
Congratulating Singh, the CM said that a person who has spent his life in resolving the problems of others was selected to carry out special research on the Prayagraj Kumbh.
Speaking about the role of the government in organising Kumbh, Yogi said he was committed towards preserving the state’s culture.
“It was an honour for me to be able to organise the Kumbh in 2019. Along with ensuring a religious and spiritual setting at the festival, the state government also presented an example of sanitation, security and management of an international standard,” he said.
