Islamic Seminary Advises Students Amid Kanwar Yatra
An Islamic seminary in Deoband, Uttar Pradesh, has issued an advisory to its students regarding the ongoing Kanwar Yatra. The advisory suggests students use reserved train coaches, carry identification cards, and avoid routes associated with the Yatra due to safety concerns. Separately, an Islamic religious event in Bareilly modified its menu to exclude meat and rescheduled its dates to avoid conflict with the Kanwar Yatra. Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath stated there would be zero tolerance for attempts to disrupt the Kanwar Yatra and ordered a crackdown on rumour-mongers, while also praising the harmony during the event.
