Pilgrim train to Somnath from Delhi flagged off
NEW DELHI: A train carrying elderly pilgrims for the Dwarka-Somnath route under the Delhi government’s Mukhya Mantri Tirth Yatra Yojna was flagged off from the Safdarjung station here on Monday. This was the fourth pilgrimage train after the scheme was resumed on February 14 with the flagging off of a Dwarka-Somnath route train.
The scheme for the elderly was disrupted in the first week of January this year due to the third wave of Covid. The February 14 batch was followed by trains of pilgrims sent for Rameshwaram-Madurai on February 18 and Puri-Bhubneshwar on February 19.
