Additionally, 60 iron tanks have been strategically placed at 32 locations to supplement river immersion. Public toilets and water supply have been prioritized, with 1,107 toilet seats and 292 urinals available, along with 150 mobile toilets strategically located to manage the influx of devotees. Road infrastructure has also been addressed, with repairs conducted on key procession routes such as Shivaji Road, Bajirao Road, Tilak Road, Kumthekar Road, and Kelkar Road.
Safety measures include the presence of lifeguards at all five ghats and health inspectors deployed for sanitation management.
