Chief minister Nitish Kumar, who extended his greetings on Sunday, will also attend the Monday namaz. Kishor instructed officials to install door-frame metal detectors at every entrance to the ground. During inspection of the Maidan, all the closed-circuit television cameras were found defunct and Kishor issued orders to make them functional by Sunday evening and issued show cause notices to officials concerned.
