The first signboard to be replaced was that of the erstwhile Karimganj municipality, in a ceremony overseen by District Commissioner Pradeep Kumar Dwivedi, accompanied by traditional Gayan-Bayan performances.

The signboards of the District Commissioner 's office, the Superintendent of Police's office, and other government offices followed suit.
