Tourists gather on New Year's Eve
To celebrate the occasion of New Year, there has been a crowd of tourists from the past, but after the inauguration in the year 2014, the scene here has changed. Last year also, a group of youths, who reached here from every corner of the district with DJ, sound box, and other music systems, rocked the tunes of music from morning till evening. At the same time, dozens of administrative and police officers had also come to enjoy the picnic.
Strong security arrangements will be made
Given the crowd on the reservoir on the first day of the new year, the administration will keep the security system tight. An adequate number of security forces will be deployed here on January 1. At the same time, an ambulance with medical personnel is also being arranged, so that the picnickers do not face any kind of trouble.
Will keep a close watch on those who consume alcohol
After the liquor ban, the Police and Product Department will keep a close watch on those who serve liquor at picnic spots. Karamchat police station chief Sanjay Singh told that for this, male and female police personnel will remain in plain clothes. At the same time, action will also be taken against those who spread filth.

From the ramparts of the Shergarh fort, a panoramic view of the Durgavati reservoir is made on sight.
