Prayagraj : A seven-tier security plan has been devised to ensure safety of visitors during the upcoming Maha Kumbh-2025. As part of it over 37,000 police personnel will be deployed to maintain safety and order throughout the event. This is in line with Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath 's endeavour to make the event a divine and grand spectacle.
To bolster these measures, the Yogi govt has also laid out plans for 10 distinct security operations, which will be carried out during the fair. Yogi during his recent visit to Prayagraj gave clear instructions to ensure the safety of devotees at every level. Following this, officials have planned a seven-level security system for the Maha Kumbh .
This system aims not only to respond quickly to any emergencies but also to prevent potential incidents in advance, ensuring a safe and smooth experience for all visitors. The first circle will involve screening at the point of origin, the second will involve checking of trains, buses, and private vehicles, the third circle will involve thorough inspection at state borders, the fourth will involve checking at zone borders and toll plazas, the fifth will involve security checks at the Prayagraj Commissionerate border, the sixth will involve monitoring at the outer fair area, and the seventh circle will involve security at the inner and isolation cordon. To ensure a safe and secure experience for devotees, 37,611 policemen will be deployed.
Among these, 22,953 policemen will be for the fair area.
