Chief secretary and his team visited Ujjain on Sunday to inspect arrangements for Makar Sakranti. Arrangements are also being made at other places where fair are held on occasion of the festival.  Chief Secretary SR Mohanty after reviewing arrangements said that permanent arrangements should be made to release Narmada water into Kshipra river not only for Makar Sankranti festival but other Snan parvs too.
