The city will see a substantial presence of 1,000 additional security personnel. This deployment includes specialized leadership with three IPS officers, six DSPs, 40 inspectors, and 80 sub-inspectors. The Morahabadi venue will be secured through a robust three-layer security approach. Elite units such as the Bomb Disposal Squad, JAP, ATS, and Jharkhand Jaguar will be positioned strategically.
