While the civic body was entrusted with the task of sprucing up the area, putting up vintage-style street lamps and date palm trees, the Hyderabad police and administration are on their toes to ensure an incident-free event in the congested lanes in the heart of the old city. The state government was keen to ensure that the event would put Hyderabad on the global map of tourism with the spotlight shining on its historical treasures like the Charminar, the Mecca Masjid, the Laad Bazaar and the Chowmahalla Palace.
