After the departure of the PM and the CM on Friday evening, officials convened a meeting to outline the action plan for the next 10 days.
Divisional Commissioner Vijay Vishwas Pant on Saturday stated, “In line with the Chief Minister’s vision, the fair area will be fully decorated within the next 10 days.
