Union Home Minister Amit Shah’s Uttarakhand tour reaches a crescendo with the inauguration of Patanjali’s state-of-the-art Emergency and Critical Care Hospital in Haridwar. Scheduled for Thursday morning, this event promises to transform emergency healthcare for thousands in the holy city and surrounding areas.
Shah, who landed in the state on Wednesday, has been engaging in a series of high-profile events that weave together health, spirituality, and cultural preservation. Kicking off at Patanjali Yogpeeth’s Maharishi Dayanand Gram at 10 AM, the hospital opening is poised to deliver cutting-edge care to critical patients, easing the burden on overburdened local facilities.
The minister’s schedule continues seamlessly with a visit to Shantikunj Gayatri Tirth at 10:45 AM for prayers and discussions with Gayatri Parivar members, spotlighting their role in societal upliftment.
A massive congregation awaits at Bairagi Island for the Shatabdi Varsh Samaroah 2026, honoring Mata Bhagwati Devi Sharma’s birth centenary and the Akhand Deep milestone. With participants from across the globe, Shah’s speech will celebrate the organization’s legacy in fostering spiritual enlightenment and social change.
Reflecting on the previous day, Shah graced the centenary edition launch of the iconic Kalyan magazine at Rishikesh’s Geeta Bhawan. He hailed Geeta Press as the bedrock of India’s spiritual revival and aligned its mission with PM Modi’s cultural renaissance agenda. A heartfelt homage was offered to founder Hanuman Prasad Poddar, whose lifelong devotion via Geeta Press has preserved Sanatan values for generations.
As Haridwar embraces this healthcare milestone, Shah’s visit exemplifies how governmental initiatives are harmonizing ancient wisdom with contemporary needs, heralding a brighter future for Uttarakhand.
