MAHAKUMBH NAGAR (PRAYAGRAJ): With a view to providing foolproof security to pilgrims and facilitate their safe return home from Mahakumbh-2025, a robust seven-tier security circle has been established by the Uttar Pradesh Police.
Sharing this information with media persons, Prayagraj police commissioner Tarun Gauba on Sunday said the district police will play a crucial role in it, handling the outer cordon of the mela area.
To strengthen the outer cordon, the Prayagraj police have expanded their infrastructure and personnel, setting up temporary police stations and checkpoints in both urban and rural areas, say officials aware of the move.
Additionally, the presence of PAC, NDRF, central armed police forces, bomb detection and disposal squads and anti-sabotage check teams will also be ensured. During the mela, police forces will also be kept in reserve for the city and rural area.
The police commissioner said 13 temporary police stations and 23 checkpoints were being established. In addition, paramilitary forces and other security personnel will also be deployed.
Around 10,000 police personnel will be stationed across both urban and rural areas of Prayagraj, he added.
Gauba said designated routes to and from mela have been identified, with temporary stations and checkpoints established, along with additional security forces.
Furthermore, 8 zones and 18 sectors have been created, each managed by senior officer.
