Tritiya while felicitating the Sants who came from all over the country.
Khattar said, “Although today I have come to pay obeisance to the Sants and seek blessings in
this religious event, but MLA from this area, Nayan Pal Rawat has made two demands including
the demand of developing a pond of Panhera village as a Siddha Sarovar so that devotees coming
