Parking has been arranged for nearly 14,700 heavy and medium vehicles and 5,000 two-wheelers, with separate zones for VIPs, media, police, and the public. Shuttle services will ferry attendees from parking areas to the venue, while dedicated routes have been mapped for visitors from Delhi, Meerut, Ghaziabad, Aligarh, and Mathura.To ensure medical preparedness, 16 hospitals — including the Government Institute of Medical Sciences and Noida district hospital — have been put on alert, alongside the deployment of ambulances and medical teams.
