Overview
- Authorities have installed over 100 solar-powered CCTV cameras along the seven- to eight-kilometre route, with officials also citing hundreds of additional cameras and live monitoring at picket points.
- Superintendent of Police Rajesh Dwivedi said the deployment includes 4 additional SPs, 13 circle officers, 310 sub-inspectors, 1,200 constables, 500 home guards, four PAC companies, four RAF companies and an NDRF team, with over 200 magistrates on duty.
- Police report preventive action against 2,423 people, and the main procession has been divided into zones and sectors for tighter control.
- As many as 148 lanes opening onto the route are being barricaded, and municipal teams have arranged sky-lift access and cleanup trolleys to manage crowds and debris.
- Officials gave differing tallies for sites covered with tarpaulin to prevent staining—48 per the district administration, about 20 per the municipal commissioner and 72 cited in an IANS report—but all said the measure is protective.
