Preparations are underway in Mathura for the grand celebration of Krishna Janmashtami, one of the most significant festivals for devotees of Lord Krishna. Uttar Pradesh’s Minister of Tourism and Culture, Jaiveer Singh, has announced that this year’s festivities will be marked by extraordinary grandeur and devotion.

"The Madhya Pradesh government will identify the places associated with Lord Ram and Lord Krishna in the state and develop them as pilgrimage sites," Chief Minister Mohan Yadav said.  

In the ongoing legal battle concerning the Krishna Janmabhoomi-Shahi Idgah case, the Hindu side presented its arguments before the Allahabad High Court on Thursday, emphasising the failure of the Sunny Central Waqf Board and the mosque committee to provide any documents regarding ownership of the disputed property.
