Anti-Romeo squads and flood measures
To keep things smooth, Anti-Romeo Squads will remain active to ensure women's safety, traffic management is getting a boost, and bus drivers, including private bus drivers, auto-rickshaw and taxi drivers are being thoroughly checked.
On top of that, the government is tackling floods in 19 districts by clearing drains, removing encroachments, and keeping emergency control rooms open 24/7, so everyone can focus on celebrating without extra worries.
