Simhastha Snan Will Be Done Only with Kshipra Water: Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav

During the review meeting, Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav presented the detailed Simhastha-2028 Action Plan, which includes several major initiatives to ensure a clean and uninterrupted flow of the Kshipra River.

He announced that during Simhastha 2028, devotees will take the holy dip (Snan) only in the pure waters of the Kshipra River. Projects such as the Kanh Diversion Close Duct Project, Sewarkhedi–Silarkhedi Medium Project, and construction of multiple barrages are being executed to prevent contamination and ensure the purity of the Kshipra.

Key Projects Underway

  • Cost: ₹920 crore

  • Completion Period: 36 months

• Sewarkhedi–Silarkhedi Medium Project:
  Designed to maintain the Kshipra’s continuous flow by lifting and storing rainwater in the Silarkhedi pond, which will be released into the river post-monsoon.

  • Cost: ₹614.53 crore

  • Completion Period: 30 months

• Construction of Barrages:
  Five on the Kanh River and one on the Kshipra River.

  • Cost: ₹37 crore

Dr. Yadav also informed that permanent basalt stone ghats will be built on both sides of the Kshipra River to ensure stability, strength, and longevity, removing the need for repetitive construction in future Simhastha events.
