The RMC has assembled a team of city campaign managers, city managers, junior engineers, assistant engineers, and in-charge officers to oversee these measures and work alongside zonal supervisors. The team is responsible for maintaining the consistency of cleaning and garbage collection, road sweeping, and bush trimming in the vicinity of the puja pandals.

Sufficient lighting is being installed around puja pandals and connecting roads, especially in sensitive areas such as Hindpidhi, Bada Talab, and Ratu Road.
