Extensive security arrangements have been made by the state government to ensure a smooth and safe experience for millions of Shiva devotees participating in the Kanwar Yatra, which continues until August 11th.
The Kanwar Yatra, an important religious event for Shiva devotees, started today in Haridwar, Uttarakhand. The state government has implemented extensive safety measures to ensure the comfort and unhindered movement of millions of pilgrims.
To bolster security during this period until August 11th, not only police personnel and paramilitary forces have been stationed along the Kanwar track, national highways, major ghats, temples, and other sensitive locations, but also round-the-clock surveillance will be maintained through drone cameras, CCTV networks, and a state-of-the-art integrated control room.
Chief Minister Pushkar Singh Dhami emphasized that every possible precaution has been taken to prevent any inconvenience for the vast number of visitors during the pilgrimage. To facilitate seamless traffic flow, a special traffic diversion plan is in effect, and additional police personnel have been posted at congested areas.
Medical teams, fire services, and disaster response units are also on high alert to address any emergencies that may arise during the event. Moreover, it should be noted that these units will remain prepared until the conclusion of the Kanwar Yatra.
