Minute-to-minute of the CM’s programme has not been released yet. “However, the Prayagraj district administration has been informed about the arrival from the chief minister’s office and accordingly preparations for it have started,” he added.
“For the last few weeks, a meeting of the CM has been proposed to be held in Prayagraj. Now that the CM’s visit has finally been proposed, the administration has started preparations regarding it,” he said. District magistrate Sanjay Kumar Khatri said, “The detailed programme of CM’s arrival has not been released yet and is still awaited.”
During his visit, the CM is also likely to launch various projects in Prayagraj.
