During the tour, the MLC visited various villages in the Kallar area and listened to various day to day problems of locals. One of the major focuses of the tour was to sensitize the innocent people of villages about the safety of their money in the light of current demonetisation process.
The MLC was accompanied by other senior leaders of BJP along with leaders of local Panchayats. He also visited the Surta Mata Temple at Kallar and paid his obeisance there.

He said that now the onus lies on the common citizens of the country to strengthen the hands of our PM by assisting in smooth transition process linked to this ban.
On this occasion, MLC Vibodh Gupta announced an amount of Rs 5 lakh from his CDF for the construction of a community hall at Kallar through convergence of other Government schemes.
