A key topic of discussion was parking arrangements.

The DC instructed the relevant authorities to develop effective traffic flow measures to ensure the smooth movement of vehicles, including enhancing public transport services. Provisions for traffic diversions and measures to manage congestion during peak hours were also discussed.
Finally, the establishment of a centralized control room for coordination was deemed essential. The control room will monitor and manage all event-related operations, including security, logistics, and traffic management, ensuring that any issues are addressed promptly and efficiently.
