This included thorough assessments of the pandal, stage, and product showcasing stalls to ensure everything meets the required standards for the Chief Minister's arrival.
Security and Public Facility Arrangements
Given the expected large turnout, officials placed special emphasis on security and public convenience measures. A comprehensive review was conducted covering multiple critical areas:
