Lord Chitragupta’s Grand Procession In Prayagraj: Former IAS Dheeraj Srivastava Turns ‘Saviour’, May Enter Electoral Fray

A grand procession dedicated to Lord Shri Chitragupta Maharaj brought Prayagraj alive with devotion and enthusiasm.

However, the event also witnessed a remarkable humanitarian gesture when former IAS officer Dheeraj Srivastava helped an ambulance escape the massive crowd.

The procession began at 11 AM from Major Ranjit Singh Sports Complex (Kayastha Pathshala) and passed through Civil Lines, Patthar Girja Ghar and the High Court Road.

During the event, an ambulance carrying a patient became trapped in the crowd. Hearing its siren, Dheeraj Srivastava immediately coordinated with volunteers and police personnel.

He appealed to devotees to clear the way and helped create a green corridor within minutes.

The ambulance then proceeded safely towards its destination. A video of the incident has attracted widespread appreciation on social media.

Members of the Kayastha community and people from other communities participated enthusiastically.

Devotees raised slogans in praise of Lord Chitragupta Maharaj as the procession returned to Kayastha Pathshala.

TP Singh, Sameer Shankar, Kaushalendra Nath Singh, Praveen Srivastava and Dhunnu were among the prominent contributors to the event.

A Prayagraj native and former Rajasthan cadre officer, Srivastava served as OSD to former Congress president Sonia Gandhi and private secretary to Priyanka Gandhi Vadra.

He also played a key role in managing Priyanka Gandhi’s 2019 Ganga Jal Yatra from Prayagraj to Varanasi.

His continued involvement in social and developmental activities has fuelled speculation about a possible Congress candidature from a Kayastha-dominated constituency, particularly Shahar Uttari, in the 2027 Uttar Pradesh Assembly elections.
