Enhanced Security Measures Implemented for Maha Kumbh During New Year Celebrations

Officials have intensified security at temples and key sites for New Year celebrations. The intelligence network is active in the Mahakumbh Mela area, Prayagraj, and nearby districts. Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has directed comprehensive preparations for a secure Mahakumbh. Multiple checkpoints are in place to screen individuals entering the district, according to an official statement.

Senior Superintendent of Police, Mahakumbh Nagar, Rajesh Dwivedi, stated that Chief Minister Adityanath aims to make this year's Maha Kumbh memorable with a robust security system. "With the global spotlight on the Mahakumbh, the Mahakumbh Nagar Police has gone into full alert mode ahead of the New Year celebrations," he said.

Enhanced Security Measures

The Mahakumbh Nagar Police have established a three-tier security system across Prayagraj and surrounding areas. This measure ensures every devotee's safety during the celebrations. Intelligence squads are actively monitoring suspicious activities and coordinating safety operations with senior officials.

To further strengthen security, multiple checkpoints have been set up by the police. Dwivedi noted that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Adityanath have prioritised making this year's Maha Kumbh a Digital Mahakumbh.

Technological Advancements

In line with this digital vision, AI-powered cameras have been introduced at the world's largest cultural event. Drones, anti-drones, and tethered drones are strategically deployed to enhance surveillance capabilities.

To protect devotees' cyber safety, robust cyber security measures are in place. These include intensified cyber patrolling to safeguard visitors arriving from around the world.

The most skilled police personnel have been assigned crucial roles to bolster the security system in Mahakumbh Nagar. This ensures a seamless and secure experience for all attendees during the event.
