CM Yadav also said that the cleanliness of temple premises situated on the banks of rivers should be ensured.
"Shipra Parikrama has been organised for the last twenty years in which the intelligentsia of society, common people, scholars of history and archaeology also participate.

By expanding this rich tradition in the entire state with the participation of citizens, the idea of organising events on the ghats of other rivers also should be realised," the CM concluded.
