If not done, from tomorrow, i.e,. 24th April, all Tehsildars, Naib Tehsildars, Patwaris, and Girdawars have threatened a boycott of purchase too.

According to the information, the fair of Dholagarh Devi is being organized in Dholagarh from 18 to 24 April. There was a huge crowd in the temple on Monday night.
