Following the orders of Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, the administrative officers will go from village to village and solve all problems on the spot in the night halt programmes.

The DC and the SP also inspected the Anganwadi centre of the village and took complete details of the Anganwadi and got to know the problems there along with its dilapidated condition. The DC said the anganwadi would be renovated.
