The prabhat pheri started from the Bhairav temple, and after passing through the main city bazars and paying obeisance at Ranbireshwar temple and all other major city temples, it culminated at the Bhairav temple.
The medical camp, which started at 10 am, continued up to 5 pm.

The rush of patients was witnessed right from the morning. Patients, especially elderly men and women, came for the treatment of various ailments.
While Dr Rakesh emphasised the need for doing exercise to keep joint pains and other related problems away, Dr Reema advised the women patients to immediately consult a lady doctor whenever they felt a problem related to gyane.
Dr Shailender and Dr Darshan listened to the patients' problems coolly and gave them valuable information about different ailments.
They said if people took preventive steps, several diseases could be kept away.
Free medicines were distributed among the patients on the occasion.
