Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot on Wednesday said his government will be adding more pilgrim sites under the Senior Citizen Pilgrimage Scheme launched in 2013 as tribute to the elders of the society. He also said since 2020, more than 86,000 people travelled under the Moksh Kalash Yojana to immerse ashes of their kin.
The scheme that allows free bus travel to at most two kin of the deceased for the immersion of ashes was started in 2020 when the COVID pandemic hit the world. The scheme has now been made permanent. Gehlot was addressing passengers travelling to Rameshwaram-Madurai under the Senior Citizen Pilgrimage Scheme from Durgapura Railway Station in Jaipur.
