Observing the tent arrangements made for the devotees, she appreciated the efforts of the Trust Board.

Later, attending the program held at Kakatpur Government High School, she highlighted various developmental initiatives. She mentioned that each step of Kakatpur’s development would be brought to public attention, and that the geographical landscape of the Mangala temple area would be transformed within two years.
