On Sunday, Uttar Pradesh Governor Anandiben Patel took part in the Mahasamagam of Mahakumbh 2025 in Teerthraj Prayagraj. She commenced her visit with a sacred dip in the Triveni Sangam, referring to the experience as truly special. The Governor also offered prayers at several significant sites, including the Bada Hanuman Mandir, Akshayvat, and Saraswati Koop.

Deeply touched by the spiritual atmosphere, Governor Patel reflected on her dip at Mahakumbh as a divine and unforgettable experience—one that filled her with the spiritual essence of Prayagraj and would remain etched in her memory for years to come.

Praising the arrangements made by the Yogi Adityanath government and local authorities, Governor Patel emphasized that Prayagraj serves as a spiritual hub not just for Uttar Pradesh, but for the entire nation and the world. She recognized the impressive turnout of millions of devotees from all corners of the globe and commended the officials for ensuring a well-coordinated and enjoyable pilgrimage experience. Additionally, she noted the orderly manner in which pilgrims conducted their sacred baths at various ghats and proceeded to their respective destinations.

Upon her arrival at Prayagraj Airport, Governor Patel took a helicopter to DPS Arail, landing at a designated helipad. From Arail Ghat, she traveled via a floating jetty to the Triveni Sangam, where she performed her holy dip and associated rituals. Subsequently, she made her way to Kila Ghat to worship at Akshayvat, Saraswati Koop, and the Bada Hanuman Temple.

National: One year after the deadly terror attack in Pahalgam, the nation remembers the 26 people who lost their lives. The attack took place on April 22 at Baisaran, a popular tourist spot.

At first, reports said only five people were injured. Later, it became clear that it was one of the worst terror attacks in the region in decades. Terrorists came out of the forest and opened fire on tourists.

Survivors said the attackers separated men from women and children. They then shot the men at close range. Many victims were reportedly targeted after being asked about their religion.

A heartbreaking image of Himanshi Narwal sitting beside her husband’s body became a symbol of the tragedy. Her husband, a naval officer, was among those killed.

The group The Resistance front, linked to Lashkar-e-Taiba, claimed responsibility. The case was investigated by the National Investigation Agency.

After months of tracking, security forces launched Operation Mahadev. On July 28, 2025, all three terrorists were killed after a long search operation.

The attack remains a painful memory and a reminder of the need for strong security.
