Calling the trees inauspicious, Yogi Adityanath orders pruning of fig trees on kanwar yatra route
UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath directed officials to provide better facilities to Kanvarias in the upcoming Kanvar Yatra - the annual pilgrimage of devotees of Shiva, which is set to begin from July 10 and conclude on August 7 in the state.
During the meeting, he ordered the pruning of cluster fig trees on the Kanwar Yatra route as the trees are considered to be inauspicious by many devotees.
