Nearly 200 pilgrims boarded the inaugural run.<\/p>\n<p>The initiative, organised by Kali Mata Seva Samiti, will operate through all nine days of Navratri. Four buses will ply daily, ferrying devotees to Dongargarh and back after darshan.<\/p>\n<p>Applauding the effort, CM Sai said the Samiti has been carrying out the seva for a decade with a spirit of dedication. \u201cThis service is not only a symbol of faith but also a shining example of social unity. Many devotees long for darshan but cannot travel far\u2014this initiative fulfils that wish. The very thought of Maa\u2019s darshan fills hearts with divine energy, and now reaching Dongargarh has become simpler than ever,\u201d he remarked. He also prayed to Maa Kali and Maa Bamleshwari for Chhattisgarh\u2019s peace, prosperity, and happiness, while extending Navratri greetings to all citizens.<\/p>\n<p>Chief Minister Shri Sai pointed out that the recently launched Rajim\u2013Raipur MEMU train will also benefit devotees from the state\u2019s \u2018Kumbhnagri\u2019 Rajim, easing travel to Dongargarh. He praised Kali Mata Seva Samiti leaders Shrichand Sundrani, Deepak Bhardwaj, and other office-bearers for their commitment to public service.<\/p>\n<p>Home Minister Vijay Sharma, addressing the gathering, urged the Samiti to add a bus route from Kawardha.<\/p>\n<p>The event witnessed the presence of Revenue Minister TankRam Verma, Raipur Mayor Meenal Chaubey, MLAs Sunil Soni and Purandar Mishra, along with a large number of devotees and dignitaries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Raipur, September 23 Chief Minister Vishnu Deo Sai on Tuesday flagged off a fleet of&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":22010,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,35],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-22009","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cg","category-featured"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v26.3 -
