Bhagalpur: Ahead of the commencement of Shravani Mela 2026, the electricity department in Sultanganj has begun finalizing its preparations. The department claims that all necessary works to ensure power supply along the Kanwariya path and in the मेला (fair) area will be completed by July 16. Special attention is being paid to ensure that millions of devotees do not face any inconvenience.

According to electricity department officials, a detailed plan has been formulated to maintain uninterrupted power supply on the Kanwariya path from Sultanganj to Deoghar. This includes replacing dilapidated wires, installing new transformers, and repairing poles. Additionally, extra teams will be deployed to handle emergencies and promptly rectify any faults.

All preparations are being finalized in coordination with the local administration to ensure the fair concludes peacefully and safely.
