She further said that the Additional Deputy Commissioner would be responsible for communication with police and other security agencies. She further said that a committee had also been formed for the beautification of the roads from the hotel to Gaddafi Stadium.

The DC said that a temporary mobile hospital unit had been set up in the hockey stadium, adding that teams had been formed to pay special attention to traffic and security issues in the city. They would make every possible effort to ensure foolproof security and keep the citizens safe from traffic issues, she added.

Meanwhile, the DC removed all restrictions from official social media accounts for the public and ordered officials to adopt an open policy on social media.
