Maharashtra’s new Chief Minister, Devendra Fadnavis, was sworn into office in a high-profile ceremony at Azad Maidan in Mumbai. To ensure the security of the event, attended by thousands of supporters, including Prime Minister Narendra Modi, over 4,000 police personnel were deployed.
This deployment involved specialized teams, including riot control units, bomb squads, and traffic management officers.
In addition to providing physical security, police teams coordinated traffic diversions and guided the public in using public transport to ease congestion, given the limited parking space. The security arrangements were carefully planned, with special attention to crowd management and the prevention of any untoward incidents.
The ceremony’s success reflects Maharashtra’s commitment to ensuring the safety of its citizens during large-scale political events.
