Interacting with officers and representatives of various social organizations after inaugurating the Shelter Shed completed at a cost of Rs. 25 lakh under MPLAD Scheme, he said in view of ensuing yatra from 25 June, 2012, all the concerned departments should gear up their men and machinery to make all arrangements well in time. He enjoined upon the officers and social organizations to ensure that the pilgrims would be provided every type of assistance. He particularly stressed upon maintaining cleanliness around the camp area and toilets and bathrooms of Yatri Niwas round the clock.
