They were advised to ensure that sound systems are operated within the prescribed norms and that all necessary permissions and safety guidelines are followed.
Camp Organisers Asked to Set Up at Designated Locations
Camp organisers were instructed to establish Kanwar camps only at designated locations identified by the administration. Officials said this would help prevent traffic congestion and ensure the smooth movement of vehicles and pedestrians throughout the pilgrimage period.

Keeping the ongoing monsoon season in mind, officials instructed organisers to take extra precautions while using electrical equipment at Kanwar camps to avoid accidents caused by rain or waterlogging.
