In response to concerns raised about cattle transport, Anand suggested that information about the illegal transport of cattle be brought to the attention of the officials.
Anand also issued a stern warning to self-proclaimed groups and individuals who take the law into their own hands in the name of animal protection.
For better coordination between departments, 21 officers were designated as liaison officers. Arrangements for bandobast are being made to facilitate parking, security, and traffic management, not to restrict traffic, he added.
The civic, electricity and other department officials also went ahead and took note of the issues raised during the meeting and promised to resolve them as soon as possible.
In response to a question about animal remains during the festival, GHMC officials stated that sanitization teams will be deployed to clear them from roads, ponds, and open drains. GHMC vet teams and emergency vehicles will also be kept on standby.
