The administration has made arrangements to ensure a swift response to potential disasters, emphasising visitor safety.
CCTV cameras will monitor the event zone, and international border areas will see increased vigilance to prevent any untoward incidents.

The administration is also monitoring social media to counter any misinformation or harmful content that could disrupt the event's proceedings.
