Expecting huge pilgrims rush during the nine-day Navratri festival at its famous Shakti peeths of state, Himachal Pradesh Govt has made special arrangements regarding security, law and order, accommodation, health care, sanitation and other facilities to facilitate them.
Every year thousands of pilgrims visit the three Shakti peeths of Bajjreshwari, Jawalamukhi and Chamunda in the state everyday. In order to maintain proper sanitation in the temple towns, Administration has deputed 300 workers in each town.
