West Bengal Minister Javed Ahmed Khan addressed concerns about securing permission due to the Army's initial commitments, stating that discussions between event organizers and defense officials successfully resolved the issues.

In recognition of the tradition spanning decades, the Army agreed to alter its planned exercises. The Red Road, a Defense property transiting the city's Maidan area and near Eastern Command headquarters, will host the Eid prayers.
