In preparation for Kaanum Pongal celebrations, Chennai Police have stepped up security at Marina Beach by installing 13 temporary guard towers equipped with essential surveillance tools like walkie-talkies, binoculars, and megaphones. These guard towers will help police officers keep a constant watch over the crowd, ensuring that any potential issues are swiftly identified and addressed. Additionally, temporary police support centers have been set up at popular gathering spots along the beach to assist festival-goers and provide immediate help if needed.
These security measures reflect the Chennai Police’s proactive approach to managing large public gatherings during a festive season. The towers also allow for effective crowd monitoring, preventing accidents and ensuring the public’s safety during the celebrations.
