CM further said that if someone tries to harass daughters and businessmen, then these CCTVs will open a door for criminals to 'Yamraj', the god of death and justice in Hindu mythology.

Speaking at an event, CM Adityanath said, "Gorakhpur city has now become a smart city. CCTV cameras have been installed. Appropriate steps are being taken to improve the city's cleanliness system. Agar kisi ne kisi beti aur Vyapari ko cheda toh voh (CCTV cameras) us apradhi ke liye Yamraj ke ghar jane ka bhi ek rasta khol deta hai (If anyone troubles a daughter or a trader, then that (CCTV cameras) will pave the way to Yamraj for that criminal.)"

Ahead of this, the CM had asserted that they succeeded in their goal of organising the Mahakumbh in Prayagraj with 66 crore devotees in 45 days in a temporary city.

CM Yogi attended the inaugural ceremony of the two-day national seminar on 'Contribution of Yogiraj Baba Gambhirnath of Indian Yoga tradition' organised at Deen Dayal Upadhyaya Gorakhpur University.

"I held the first meeting regarding the Mahakumbh in November 2022. It took a year to finalise everything and then to implement it on the ground. If a good team isn't selected, the situation will be similar to what happened during the Commonwealth Games in Delhi. The CWG had ended, but the stadiums were still being built. Some people started criticising the Mahakumbh. I knew that the Rs 7,000 crore we were spending was the hard-earned money of the people of Uttar Pradesh, but in return, we would give Uttar Pradesh a Rs 3 lakh crore return and show the world that faith can become a cause of prosperity. We had not understood its strength," CM Yogi said.

"We succeeded in our goal. The Mahakumbh was magnificent and divine. The world was amazed to see the spiritual and cultural organisation of India, with 66 crore devotees in just 45 days in a temporary city," he said.

He further emphasised that 66 crore devotees coming to Prayagraj, where they bathe in Maa Ganga and take a sip of water shows the spiritual strength of India. "The power of spirituality cannot be bound by the limitations of the physical world," he pointed out.

The Uttar Pradesh CM also highlighted that India's Upanishads are the greatest treasures not only in this physical world but also if one wants to understand the mysteries of the universe.
