According to official sources, Sarma would engage with the people and highlight the state government’s ongoing and upcoming development initiatives.

"Distribution of benefits directly by the Chief Minister himself to around 15 beneficiaries among the 19,000 under the MMMUA will be the special attraction," said a woman from the Inthem Panchayat.

According to official communication, special care has been ensured for the safety and comfort of women with systematic sitting arrangements, sanitation, refreshments and lactation rooms.

"There would also be an emergency medical unit to attend if the need arises," informed an official of the Margherita Co-District administration.

"A rigid parking and traffic mechanism would be adopted to facilitate easy movements," the official added.

Local authorities including law enforcement agencies are coordinating logistics, security and crowd management to ensure the event runs smoothly.

Given regional sensitivities, working in tandem with law enforcement and local bodies is underway.

"We have already designed a robust security set up to ensure the safety and security of the public," said Gurav Abhijit Dilip, Superintendent of Police, Tinsukia.

'"Any forces trying to disrupt the public rally or adopt any means to disturb the law and order situation would be dealt with an iron fist," warned the cop.
