Arrangements for their accommodation and food were discussed, with a base camp to be set up in Kala Bagh for pilgrims traveling from Sarahan and Tarahan.
The temple construction will be completed with the installation of the Kurad on October 11, 2024, during the Pran Pratishtha and Shant Mahayagna. Various deities from Sirmaur, Solan, and Shimla districts will also be present at the event.
Deputy Commissioner Kashyap announced a complete ban on plastic materials, including water bottles, during the event. Instructions were given to ensure continuous water supply, with the existing 5 lakh liter water tank of the Jal Shakti Department to be repaired for adequate water arrangements.
Superintendent of Police Shimla Sanjeev Kumar Gandhi assured proper traffic management during the event and instructed geo-mapping of the area to handle any emergency situations efficiently.
The next meeting will be held in Chopal by the end of the month, involving the administrations of Solan and Sirmaur districts to finalize the detailed plan for the event.
