Bihar's Additional Director General of Police (ADG), Sanjay Kumar Singh, made the announcement in a letter to all the superintendents and the Railway Police.

According to the letter, the action is intended to guarantee that state law and order would be effectively enforced throughout the yatra. The letter also stated that Bihar Director General of Police (DGP) RS Bhatti had given his prior acceptance to this decision.

The goal of the Shaurya Jagran Yatra, according to Prant Mantri (state secretary) Parashuram of the VHP, is to combat drug abuse and foster nationalism among young people.

The Yatra will pass through 24 districts in the state, including 155 blocks, according to the VHP. According to the VHP, the Sanskritik Vidyapeeth in Patna will host the Yatra's final function.
