On this day, married women fast for three days and perform various rituals as part of the Vat Savitri Puja. They draw symbolic images of a banyan tree, Savitri, Satyavan, and Yamraj using sandalwood paste and rice on walls or floors.

Following the successful completion of these trials, the project is expected to transition into full operational mode, with plans to initiate complete services by 2029.

Security forces fired several rounds of tear gas shells to disperse the protesters in front of Kangla Gate, some 150 metres from Raj Bhavan gate.
