In a bid to ensure a seamless Kainchi Dham Foundation Day Fair on June 15, Uttarakhand Police, under the leadership of Additional Director General of Police (Crime and Law and Order), V Murugeshan, carried out a meticulous inspection of the Kainchi Dham area in Nainital. Officials stated the focus was on evaluating security, crowd control, traffic management, surveillance, and facilities for devotees.

The inspection saw the presence of notable officers, including Inspector General of Police Kumaon Region Ridhim Agarwal and Senior Superintendent of Police Nainital Prahlad Narayan Meena. ADG Murugeshan visited the Kainchi Dham temple, received blessings from Baba Neem Karauli Maharaj, and scrutinized the temple premises, main routes, parking sites, and areas expected to see heavy footfall to assess the ongoing preparations.

Post-inspection, a review meeting was held at Sardar Patel Bhawan, Bhawali, where SSP Nainital highlighted the progress of arrangements.
