The Rs. 100 pass is very reasonable. But the 9 AM last pick-up for buses seems quite early. Many families with kids might find it difficult to reach the boarding points by then. Could there be a later shuttle?

Sukhna Lake is a perfect venue for this. Kudos to the Chief Secretary for the detailed review. Safety first, especially with large crowds. The no-eatables rule is a bit strict but understandable for security.

I appreciate the coordination between so many departments - Police, Health, Fire, IAF. This is how public events should be managed. Hope the traffic police have a solid plan too, the roads around Sukhna can get chaotic.

A small respectful suggestion: While the app-based pass is modern, what about senior citizens or people not comfortable with smartphones? Is there an offline option? Otherwise, a wonderful event for Chandigarh!

The IAF's Surya Kiran team is world-class. This is a fantastic opportunity for people, especially students, to see their skills. Capacity of 10,000 per day sounds good, hope the passes don't sell out too fast!
