'Shiv Shakti Point' signifies new India's resolve towards world welfare: UP CM
Yogi Adityanath Saturday hailed Prime Minister Narendra Modi's announcement to name 'Vikram' lander's touchdown spot on the Moon as 'Shiv Shakti Point', saying it signifies the resolve of the 'new India' towards world welfare. Earlier in the day, Prime Minister Narendra Modi declared August 23, the day the spacecraft landed on the Moon's south pole, as the 'National Space Day'.
He also named the place where lander 'Vikram' touched down on the lunar surface as 'Shiv Shakti Point' and the spot where the Chandrayaan-2 lander crash-landed on the Moon's surface in 2019 as 'Tiranga Point'.
Modi made the announcement while congratulating and interacting with scientists of the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) in Bengaluru.
Hailing the three major announcements made by the prime minister, Adityanath said, «The sense of welfare is inherent in the name of Lord Shiva, who holds the moon on his head.
