Authorities have deployed anti-drone systems, bomb squads, and over 500 CCTV cameras equipped with advanced video analytics, facial recognition technology, and automatic number plate recognition systems. The security measures aim to ensure the safety of high-profile attendees, including VIPs housed in 10 designated hotels, each under the supervision of a senior police officer supported by approximately 100 personnel.
The venue will also be guarded by anti-sabotage teams and disaster response units from the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF). Anti-drone systems designed to detect, track, and neutralize unauthorized drones in real time will be deployed, along with multiple air defence guns.
