39 with kin's ashes board two buses for Haridwar

Jaipur: They had been bearing the pain of losing their kin and had no clue if they would be able to immerse the ashes in Ganga at Haridwar. On Monday 39 passengers boarded the special bus by Rajasthan State Roadways Transport Corporation (RSRTC) named ‘Moksha Kalash Bas’. These buses by the state government will provide free travel to those who wish to visit Haridwar to immerse ashes and perform other rituals for the departed souls.



Vinay Kumar Sharma got to know about it on Monday morning itself and he was lucky as he was shortlisted for this bus travel.

State transport minister, Pratap Singh Khacharyiawas reached the bus stand. He said, “This is a free service. They will reach Haridwar at 6am and after completing the rituals they would get the same bus at 12 noon to return to Jaipur. We all know that these rituals mean a lot for the kin.” The authorities have allowed 20 people in a bus that has seating capacity of 45.

Two persons are allowed to travel with the ashes, people can register at RSRTC website.
