A mass social service from Potin to Joram Anya Gate will also be conducted on September 21 in convergence with the ongoing Swachhata Hi Seva campaign.

The administration will undertake enforcement and inspection drives, install welcome boards and colour-coded dustbins, strengthen traffic and law-and-order arrangements at Potin, and carry out necessary road repairs at vulnerable stretches.

Registered homestays and tourist lodges will also be promoted to provide accommodation for visitors while showcasing the tourism potential of Keyi Panyor.
