Accordingly to Langar manager Shri Purushottam Lal, the DC expressed his desire to do the task of Langar Seva for Yatris coming from different parts of the country for darshan of Baba Bolenath. He has also been instrumental in establishing prefab well ventilated huts at Panthachowk Yatra camp for the SANJY-2022. His regular visits months before the Yatra began helped in putting in place best infrastructure for the Yatris.

One of the Yatris from Rajasthan said they felt elated to see DC himself serving food at the Langar. It requires the spirit of selflessness to do service to mankind.
