The Hon’ble Administrative Judges also visited the districts under their administrative control and personally supervised the entire event, ensuring its effective and smooth implementation across Uttar Pradesh.
The Uttar Pradesh State Legal Services Authority has expressed its heartfelt gratitude to the State administration and all district administrations for their enthusiasm, commitment, and invaluable
cooperation in the successful organisation of the Mega Camps across the State of Uttar Pradesh.
Last but not the least, sincere appreciation is extended to the people of the State of Uttar Pradesh, who have once again reposed their full faith and trust in the Authority and actively participated in making this initiative a resounding success.
