According to an official release, the Uttar Pradesh government has invited all 54 cabinet ministers to the meeting, which is expected to approve several significant proposals and schemes for the state, the news agency ANI reported.
Officials initially planned to hold the meeting at the Mela Authority Auditorium but have now shifted the venue to the Triveni Sankul in Arail, scheduled to start at noon. Authorities changed the location to prevent inconveniencing pilgrims visiting the Sangam due to the VIP security.
