Officers were also instructed to put up banners with height information at every intersection and bridge along the procession route and to collect information about the drivers of every vehicle participating in the procession.

Police officials were told to coordinate with GHMC officials to ensure there are no obstacles on the procession route. They were also instructed to ensure that welcome stages do not completely occupy the road and obstruct the procession. Finally, they were told to ensure that idols do not get stuck due to cables or tree branches along the route. And other Zonal DCPs were participated virtually in this video conference.
