Bhopal/Ujjain (Madhya Pradesh): As many as 86 differently-abled children were shifted from Indore's Yuga Purush Dham to Ujjain's Sevadharm Ashram on Thursday. They received a grand welcome with band, baja!

Yug Purush Sham's recognition revoked: Indore Collector
Talking to media persons in the city, Indore Collector Ashish Singh stated, "Based on the incidents at Yugpurush Dham, notices were issued, management changes were made, and its recognition was also revoked. All the residents of the ashram were consensually shifted to Seva Dham. Since Seva Dham already has proper registration, the children from Yugpurush Dham are being relocated there to ensure proper care and supervision."
The children, 34 boys and 52 girls, were welcomed at the Ashram with a traditional ceremony, including a musical procession, floral tributes, and a warm reception by the existing residents. The transfer marks a historic moment, as it is the first time in Madhya Pradesh's history that such a large number of differently abled children have been relocated to a single facility.
