Three buses carrying elderly pilgrims departed from village Manoli in Mohali for holy Darbar Sahib and other religious places under the Chief Minister Pilgrimage Yatra scheme. The buses left the village with green flags, marking the start of another religious journey for devotees travelling together to places of faith. The departure was presented as part of the government’s continuing effort to respect the faith of the sangat.
The journey began from Manoli, giving elderly residents an opportunity to set out together for the holy destinations included in the programme. Three buses were arranged for the pilgrims, and all of them departed from the village after the flag-off. The movement of the buses marked the beginning of their travel towards Darbar Sahib and the other religious places included in the yatra.
Chief Minister Pilgrimage Yatra from Manoli
Under the Chief Minister Pilgrimage Yatra scheme, elderly people are visiting holy places. The departure from Manoli is part of this ongoing activity, with the village serving as the starting point for the pilgrims’ journey. The programme brings the elderly together for travel to religious destinations and places of spiritual importance.
Holy Darbar Sahib is one of the destinations named for the journey. Along with Darbar Sahib, the buses are travelling to other religious places as part of the same pilgrimage. This means the programme covers more than one holy destination, allowing the pilgrims from Manoli to continue their religious visit beyond the first named stop.
The green-flag departure marked the formal beginning of the buses’ journey. With the flags raised, the three vehicles left Manoli carrying elderly pilgrims towards the stated religious destinations. The flag-off also reflected the continuation of the pilgrimage activity being carried out through the government scheme.
The journey places elderly devotees at the centre of the programme. Their participation is the main feature of the departure, as the pilgrims have begun travelling from their village to visit holy places. The buses provide a shared arrangement for the group, bringing the pilgrims together for the journey to Darbar Sahib and other religious locations.
The departure from Manoli also gives the programme a clear local connection in Mohali. Rather than being described only as a wider government activity, this journey began from a specific village, where the three buses gathered before setting out. The start from Manoli highlights the participation of local elderly residents in the pilgrimage and links the scheme directly with the village community.
Ongoing religious journey for elderly pilgrims
The government’s effort has been described as a noble initiative to respect the faith of the sangat. That purpose is reflected in the arrangement of travel for elderly pilgrims to holy places. The green-flag departure, the three buses and the named destinations together formed the main features of the programme as the group began its journey from Manoli.
The pilgrims are travelling to holy Darbar Sahib and other religious places under the Chief Minister Pilgrimage Yatra scheme. Their journey is therefore both a group departure from Mohali and part of a continuing religious travel programme. The buses enable the elderly participants to begin the yatra together, while the destinations give the journey its central religious purpose.
The ongoing nature of the effort is another important part of the programme. The departure of the three buses from Manoli represents another stage in the government’s continuing work to support visits by elderly people to holy places. It also shows the scheme’s focus on enabling the sangat to undertake religious travel from local communities.
For the pilgrims, the journey began with the green-flag departure from their village. They are now travelling towards Darbar Sahib and other religious places as part of the organised yatra. The departure brought together the elderly participants, the three buses and the religious destinations in one programme centred on faith and pilgrimage.
The programme from Manoli thus combines a local departure with the wider purpose of the government’s religious initiative. Three buses have left the Mohali village carrying elderly pilgrims, while the visit to Darbar Sahib and other holy places continues under the scheme. The journey remains part of the ongoing effort to respect the faith of the sangat through organised visits to religious destinations.
