Pathways glowed under lights as uniformed participants moved in steady lines between activity zones, market stretches and food kiosks, giving the evening a festival-like feel. The vast layout resembled a compact city in motion. Scouts and guides were seen exploring stalls, collecting snacks or heading back towards their tents after completing activities. Those tired after a long day or dealing with sprains and fatigue made their way to a 100-bed hospital set near the administrative block, prepared to handle routine medical needs through the week. "Over 100 to 150 doctors, paramedical staff and nurses are working as part of the event. Besides, there are 5 transportation ambulances and 3 advanced life support ambulances," said chief medical officer (CMO) Dr NB Singh. Across the tent city, stadiums, auditoriums, ATMs, Skill India pavilions and multiple activity areas remained active well into the evening, giving participants the sense of living in a lively temporary town.
