fix-script.js-runtime-crash

[Sahasra-iiits]

Summary [required]

This PR fixes a critical JavaScript syntax error present in the live production deployment that was preventing the main application script from executing correctly. Because of this, responsiveness along with many event listeners were stopping working.

While working on a different issue, I noticed that the production site was throwing a runtime exception in the browser console:

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token ')' (script.js:1076)

Since this error affects the live deployment and halts subsequent JavaScript execution, I investigated the issue immediately and submitted a fix to restore normal application functionality. Although Issue #855 was not assigned to me, I considered it important to address promptly because it impacts all users accessing the production site.

Notes for Reviewer

While working on another contribution, I discovered this production-breaking issue and verified that it was reproducible on the live deployment.

Although Issue #855 was not formally assigned to me, I submitted this fix because the error affects the production environment and prevents proper JavaScript execution across the application. The change is minimal, isolated, and focused solely on resolving the reported syntax exception.
