Madhubani: Officials were directed to ensure water supply, medical aid, parking, drainage and electrical safety during Shrawan Somvari 2025. A meeting to review the preparations for the event was held at Ugna Mahadev Temple in Pandaul block on Tuesday.
Chandan Jha, sub-divisional officer (SDO) of Madhubani Sadar, chaired the meeting and instructed departments to remain alert throughout the monthlong religious observance. Shrawan begins on July 11 with the first Monday falling on July 14 when Shiva temples witness a surge in devotees.
Public health engineering department (PHED) was asked to install hand pumps and submersible pumps at key points while the block development officer (BDO) was tasked with ensuring proper drainage around the temple premises.
To handle emergencies, the medical officer in charge at Pandaul was asked to station an ambulance with a doctor and essential medicines at the temple every Sunday during the festival.
Vehicle parking arrangements and reinforcement of electrical wiring around the premises were also emphasised.
The SDO stressed the need for coordination among all departments to ensure a safe and orderly experience for devotees.
