Nitish says his government make all attempts to develop Simaria Dham

Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar said that his government would extend all possible support for organising ‘Kumbh’ and “Ardh Kumbh” at Simaria Dham in the district. After inaugurating ‘Tulark Kumbh’ at Simaria yesterday, Mr Kumar told devotees that the state government would extend all possible support for developing basic infrastructure at Simaria and also for organising ‘Kumbh’ and “Ardh Kumbh’. He appealed local people to ensure that devotees visiting the place did not face any problem.

Mr Kumar said ‘Ardh Kumbh” was organised at Simaria Dham for the first time in 2011 but a lot of controversy had taken place in the religious world as several people argued that ‘Kumbh’ could not be organised at Simaria Dham. The chief minister said that he had asked the then Chief Secretary to make all possible arrangement at Simaria Dham and ‘Ardha Kumbh’ was organised properly in 2011. Mr Kumar said it was a matter of great pleasure that Kumbha was being organised after six years and people were supporting it. He said Simaria Ghat was a confluence point of Mithila, Magadh and Ang, adding that it was a wonderful place.
