Tasking the deployed personnel to ensure tight security before, during, and after the festivities, the CG emphasized the protection of Critical National Assets and Infrastructure.

He also stated that the law enforcement agency would collaborate with sister agencies such as the anti-vandal unit, Special Intelligence Squad (CG’s SIS), Transport and Mining Marshals, Special Female Squad, and Special Force, to maintain round-the-clock surveillance for a smooth celebration.
