sangh: Rajput organisation to celebrate 75th anniversary, 3,000 cops to be deployed in Jaipur | Jaipur News
Rajput leaders cutting across political lines as well as heads of different community organisations are expected to attend the event for which Union minister Gajendra Singh Shekhawat, ministers Pratap Singh Khachariyawas and Bhanwar Singh Bhati, leader of opposition Rajendra Rathore and chief minister Ashok Gehlot’s confidant Dharmendra Rathore took out rallies in the city to invite public participation.
Police have made traffic diversions for the day expecting a big crowd for the event—named Hirak Jayanti (Diamond jubilee)—that would be held at the Bhawani Niketan Shiksha Samiti campus on the Jaipur-Sikar road near Maharao Shekhaji Circle. A special train with 24 coaches has been booked to ferry people from places along the Jaisalmer-Jaipur route for the event.
DCP (Jaipur west) Richa Tomar said that around 3,000 cops have been deployed to oversee the event. “Adequate security arrangements have been made at the venue for seamless movement of traffic and participants,” she said.
Shree Kshatriya Yuvak Sangh was founded in Jaipur on December 22, 1946, by a 22-year-old youth from Barmer, Tan Singh, who was later elected to the state’s first assembly in 1952. Before his death in 1979, Singh served as two-term MLA (1952-62) and two-term Lok Sabha MP (1962-67 and 1977-79).
The organisation’s custodian Bhagwan Singh Rolsahabsar told the media, “The Sangh was established to build a society with ethos and culture and to tell the importance of Kshatriya religion to the Kshatriyas. Started with a few volunteers, the organisation today has lakhs of members across the country.”
