Chief Minister Mohan Yadav to attend farmers and cattle-rearers' conference at Gwalior's Kulaith

A farmers and cattle-rearers' conference and a cattle fair will be held on Friday at Kulaith village in Gwalior. Preparations are now in the final stage. On Thursday, Collector Ruchika Chauhan and Superintendent of Police Shruti Kirti Somvanshi visited the venue and inspected the arrangements. Chief Minister Dr Mohan Yadav will attend the programme.

A large number of farmers and cattle-rearers are expected to gather for the conference and the Chief Minister's visit. With this in mind, the administration is paying special attention to security and traffic arrangements. About 1,000 police officers and personnel will be deployed from the airport to the venue at Kulaith. To prevent jams in the city and the villages, police have also planned traffic diversions on the main routes.

During the inspection, officials looked at the venue, the main stage, the seating arrangements and the other preparations. The Collector directed that farmers and cattle-rearers coming from outside should face no inconvenience. She said all arrangements should be completed in time.

The conference, being held under the Kisan Kalyan Varsh, will feature an exhibition on exemplary animal husbandry and improved farming. Kanhaiya folk songs, a traditional bullock-cart race and a horse race will also be among the attractions. A special medical team, including doctors, will be on duty to deal with any emergency during the cattle fair and the traditional sports.

During the conference, Chief Minister Dr Mohan Yadav will distribute benefits to beneficiaries of various schemes.

Earlier, on Wednesday, the Collector and the SP, along with Zila Panchayat CEO Sojan Singh Rawat, ADM CB Prasad and other officials, had inspected the helipad, the main stage and the seating arrangements. The administration is now busy finalising all arrangements for the event.
