During the visit, officials reviewed overall preparations for the fair, including security arrangements, traffic control, cleanliness, drinking water supply, power supply, and other visitor services.
The administration said all necessary arrangements are being made to ensure the Kharchi Puja and fair proceed smoothly, peacefully, and without disruption, given the large footfall the annual event traditionally draws.
