The police administration also seems to be fully prepared to make Mahakumbh 2025 safe and well organized. Security agencies are in full alert mode. Uttar Pradesh Police, Kumbh Mela Police, NSG, ATS, NDRF, and other paramilitary forces are continuously conducting mock drills to ensure tight security arrangements. The main objective of these mock drills was to provide better security to the devotees attending Mahakumbh during the time of emergency.
On Saturday, NSG, UP ATS (Anti-Terrorism Squad), NDRF (National Disaster Response Force), and Water Police conducted a joint mock drill at the Boat Club of Prayagraj. In this drill, a scene of a terrorist attack was created. The planned scenario included hostage taking as well as a dirty bomb carried out by the terrorists.
NSG teams approached the target from two directions, using SDRF boats and by road, freed the hostages, and demonstrated neutralization of the CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear) threat in the building.
