A dedicated deployment of 70 sanitation personnel was mobilized to scrub primary pathways and remove long-standing garbage mounds, while a specialized team of 50 painters worked to plaster and paint traffic dividers in fresh coats along Fatehabad Road, Mall Road, and Cantt Station Road to complete all transit preparations by Thursday night.
