The district administration made elaborate arrangements for the convenience of devotees, including medical facilities, drinking water and help desks. Departmental stalls for various government schemes were also installed at the venue. Mahant Bola Nath ji appreciated the efforts of the district administration for the smooth conduct of the mela, where thousands of devotees participated.
