The civic body has been repairing ghats, cleaning riverbanks, painting structures, setting up iron tanks and artificial ponds, and arranging for Nirmalya (floral offerings) collection.

Along with this, PMC has also planned for power supply, waste transport, sanitation and medical facilities.

At immersion ghats, lifeguards and fire brigade staff will remain on duty round the clock.

Ropes have been tied across the river streams, and lifeguards will be equipped with jackets and visibility vests.

Control rooms will operate at Tilak Chowk and Natraj Cinema on Anant Chaturdashi to respond quickly in case of emergencies during the grand procession.
