Chief municipal officer Navneet Pandey presented a blueprint of all the three events. Pandey said as part of the plan, a stage would be set up in the river at Sethani Ghat where security arrangements would be made.
The areas from Mangawara Ghat to Korighat are being decorated with lights and the religious places are being painted. The city skyline will be dotted with balloons, he said, adding that the children of various schools will organise rallies and take part in fancy-dress.
