Ujjain (Madhya Pradesh): Madhya Pradesh CM Mohan Yadav paid his tribute to the martyred police officials during the Police Memorial Day parade held at the Ujjain Police Line on Monday. Being the chief guest, CM Yadav emphasised the irreplaceable sacrifices of police officers for the nation's internal security, unity and integrity, each year on October 21.

Praising their services and dedication, the CM quotes… 

“Himmat se bhare hain, Parakram se bhare hain,

Madhya Pradesh ke mazboot kadam, Har musibat se bade hain.”

(“Filled with courage, driven by might, Madhya Pradesh's strong strides rise, surpassing every fight.”)

‘Ujjain to be developed as Haridwar’

Ujjain is said to be the religious/spiritual capital of Madhya Pradesh. The CM compared MP’s ancient town ‘Ujjain’ with another religiously significant city Haridwar. He took the opportunity to present the government's plans to develop Avantika Nagri friendly for sadhus and saints, similar to Haridwar.

He said, “There are many convenient ashrams for sadhus and saints in Haridwar. The MP government is set to develop similar ashrams for them in Ujjain. We have taken up the task to construct permanent ashrams for all the sadhus & Mahamandleshwars in Ujjain through the Ujjain Development Authority. We are also working on developing overall infrastructure in Ujjain. We have also issued a tender to make Indore-Ujjain road into a 6 lane highway."
