Solution

1- ‘turn of the millennium’ is correct. 2- ‘were’ should be changed to ‘was’. 3- ‘fall’ should be changed to ‘fell’ because past tense should be used. At the turn of the millennium, when Uttarakhand was carved out of Uttar Pradesh, important centres of Hindu pilgrimage fell into the domain of the hill state.
