Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar: Various social initiatives are being organised under the 'Devabhau Krutadnyata Seva Saptah', being observed from July 16 to 22 in the city to mark the birthday of Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis. Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar Municipal Corporation (CSMC) Standing Committee Chairman Anil Makariye has taken the initiative to organise the week-long programme at various locations across the city.

As part of the initiative, mahaprasad was distributed to thousands of devotees participating in the Lord Jagannath Rath Yatra, organised by the International Society for Krishna Consciousness (ISKCON) on Thursday. A message promoting cleanliness was also spread during the procession.

The Rath Yatra passed through major parts of the city, including Gandhi Chowk, Sarafa Bazar Road, Machhli Khadak, Gulmandi, Sambhajipeth, Nageshwarwadi, Nirala Bazar, Samarth Nagar and Bhagyanagar, before concluding at ISKCON Madhuvan.

Devotees gathered in large numbers along the route to seek the blessings of Lord Jagannath and welcome the procession. The Rath Yatra concluded with a Maha Aarti at ISKCON Madhuvan in a devotional atmosphere.

The organisers said several social, religious and public welfare activities will be held over the coming days as part of the week-long service programme.
