"It is crucial for departments like Revenue, Police, and Forest to collaborate effectively in organising the event. To maintain order, we'll provide public address systems and megaphones through our emergency management system. Environmental sustainability is key, so we'll control plastic usage and ensure proper waste management," Diwase elaborated.

He added, "Discussions with the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) are ongoing to potentially relocate the main assembly area to manage crowds better. Decorations, lighting, and path lights should be arranged appropriately. Sanitation facilities, including temporary and permanent structures, will be meticulously organised within the city."

The Chief Executive Officer reviewed water supply, sanitation, and healthcare systems, ensuring ample storage beds, medical supplies, and purified water. Mobile and temporary sanitation units will be established in collaboration with local authorities, he said.

Pune Rural SP, Dr Pankaj Deshmukh, emphasised the need for efficient crowd management during darshan. "Efforts are underway to minimise waiting times, with LED screens to broadcast the main programme and a dedicated control room for large-scale coordination. Entry passes will be distributed systematically to regulate crowd flow," Deshmukh said,

"To promote sustainability, Mahaurja will assess the feasibility of installing solar panels at Shivneri Fort, while the transport board will arrange additional buses for transportation. These measures aim to enhance the Shiv Jayanti celebration experience while prioritising public safety and environmental conservation," he added.
