Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann has left for Bengaluru for a week-long Vipassana meditation and naturopathy retreat aimed at improving his health and overall well-being.
During the visit, he will stay at a private natural therapy centre, where he will undergo a comprehensive wellness programme that includes yoga, meditation, natural treatments, and a specially designed diet plan.
According to government sources, the Chief Minister has been maintaining a hectic schedule over the past several months, attending political events, administrative meetings, and official engagements across the state. The continuous travel and demanding routine reportedly led to fatigue, following which doctors advised him to take a short wellness break.
As part of the programme in Bengaluru, Mann will undergo detoxification through naturopathy, participate in daily yoga and meditation sessions, and follow a customised nutritional plan under the supervision of medical experts. His health will be monitored regularly, and treatment or dietary adjustments will be made if required. Sources also said he will take part in Vipassana meditation sessions during the retreat.
Before departing, the Chief Minister reviewed several key development projects, inaugurated works under various government schemes, and issued necessary directions to officials to ensure that ongoing projects continue without disruption.
Government sources maintained that the state's administrative machinery will function as usual during the Chief Minister's absence. All departments will continue their routine operations, and Mann is expected to remain in touch with senior officials to take important decisions whenever necessary.
