On Friday morning, heavy rain lashed the city and the ground looked like a mini pond. After reviewing the situation with the officials, District Collector PS Pradyumna took a decision to lay BT road on the ground where the march past and other events have to take place. BT road was also laid along the way the tableaus are to be displayed.

The works were taken up on a war footing and by the evening they were almost completed. Still, the officials are worried about the weather forecast as heavy rains are expected in the next 48 hours. If rains hit the city, the temporary arrangements at the ground may be washed out.
