District Magistrate (DM) S Rajalingam inspected the fourth parao (halt) of Panchkoshi Parikarama, Pancho Pandava in Shivpur area along with the concerned officials here on Saturday. He directed the officers to ensure proper cleanliness as well as lighting at the dharamshalas (encampment sites) and routes so that the devotees do not have to face any kind of trouble.
The repair/ preservation work of this Pancho Pandawa is being done by the Tourism department. During the inspection, as soon as he entered inside the dharamshala, the DM saw that the tap water was spreading here and there and seeing this, the DM instructed the concerned personnel to keep a big drum there along with the mugs so that the devotees can use the water without wasting the same. He also instructed the officers to keep dustbins there.
Giving a special instruction to keep the cleanliness system proper, he directed the concerned personnel to empty the filled dustbins immediately and do regular cleaning.
The DM was informed that the medical team is working 24 hours on behalf of the Health department.
Rajalingam instructed the Nagar Nigam (Municipal Corporation) to set up tents inside the dharamshala and install adequate lighting and fans in it.
He directed to install a mesh in front of the steps of the kund (pond) located there so that worship materials and other dirt could not be spread in the pond. He said that the dirt from the mesh should be removed timely.
He also gave instructions to install cement dustbins there. When he inquired about the conservation work and the details of unfinished works, the DM expressed his displeasure over non-installation of electricity, water supply and signage. Nagar Swasthya Adhikari (City Health Officer) Dr NP Singh, Tourism department officer Nitin and officials of other related departments were also present.
