Uttar Pradesh chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Thursday directed senior officials to ensure that no animal sacrifice takes place in the open during the upcoming Eid-ul-Azha (Bakrid) festival that will be celebrated on Saturday (June 7). He also instructed authorities to ensure that blood is not drained into open sewers and emphasised adopting a zero-tolerance policy against any troublemakers to maintain peace and public order. The CM, who turned 53 on Thursday, issued these directives during a law and order review meeting that he chaired at Gorakhnath temple in Gorakhpur. At the temple, he also offered prayers and paid floral tribute to Mahant Avaidyanath's statue. Besides, Yogi reviewed preparations for the International Yoga Day celebrations scheduled for June 21. He instructed officials to make arrangements for the live telecast of PM Narendra Modi's address and to install large display screens at all major city intersections. He enquired about the pending construction work at Ayush University and directed the divisional commissioner to ensure its completion within a week. The university is scheduled to be inaugurated by the President of India on June 30.

Prez likely to open UP's 1st Ayush University in Gorakhpur on June 30
Gorakhpur: President Droupadi Murmu is likely to inaugurate the state's first Ayush University on June 30. Named after Mahayogi Guru Gorakhnath, the university stands as a testament to Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath's vision for holistic healthcare and integrated medical education. The foundation stone for the Rs267.5 crore-project was laid on Aug 28, 2021, by then President Ram Nath Kovind. Now, with its grand opening expected to be graced by the current President, Gorakhpur will become the only city in the state to have a university both inaugurated and founded by the Presidents of India. Official sources said that the campus, spread across 52 acres in Pipri, Bhatat, is over 95% complete and final touches on academic blocks, hospital wings, and hostels are underway, with a deadline of 10 days set for completion. During her proposed visit, Murmu may also inaugurate an auditorium and lay the foundation stone for a stadium at Mahayogi Gorakhnath University. She is also likely to attend the convocation ceremony of AIIMS Gorakhpur's first UG batch. tnn

Establish integrated Ayush colleges in every division: CM
: Chief minister Yogi Adityanath on Saturday said integrated Ayush colleges should be established in every division of the state. All Ayush systems—Ayurveda, Unani, and Homeopathy—should be available on a single campus, he added. Adityanath made the remark at a review meeting of the Ayush department. 'This initiative will not only strengthen the Ayush medical system but also contribute to the development of the future health-based education system,' he said. Efforts are being made in the mission mode to bring traditional healthcare systems to the public, he said. He instructed that the establishment of naturopathy and yoga centres in all Ayush institutions should be made mandatory. He also laid stress on completion of the recruitment process to fill 100% of approved academic and medical posts. The state currently has 2,127 Ayurvedic, 259 Unani, and 1,598 homoeopathic medical institutions. 'Health and wellness centres should be established in every district of the state, and (they) may be operated either through government initiatives or in public-private partnership (PPP) mode. Panchkarma in Ayurveda is very effective in the treatment of serious diseases, so these methods should be promoted in all Ayush institutions in the state,' the chief minister further said. He emphasised that the construction of the Ayush University must be completed on time without compromising on quality, and directed that all ongoing departmental projects across the state be fast-tracked. Encouraging private sector participation, the chief minister urged investors to explore opportunities in the Ayush domain. He also directed that Ayush colleges and hospitals operated by private institutions must meet stringent quality benchmarks in infrastructure, laboratories, libraries, faculty, and staff to ensure high standards of education and healthcare delivery. He directed that preparations for the successful organisation of International Yoga Day (June 21) should begin immediately. He further suggested signing memorandums of understanding (MoUs) with leading Ayurvedic manufacturing institutions to ensure a steady supply of essential medicines to all Ayush hospitals, so that no patient faces lack of medical treatment.
