A top-tier meeting in Patna, led by Chief Secretary Prayas Amrit, zeroed in on Holi preparations via virtual platform, involving every district’s administrative and police leadership. The agenda: guaranteeing a strife-free festival on the upcoming March weekend.
DGP Vinay Kumar’s orders were unambiguous—beef up patrols, monitor DJ usage rigorously, and crack down on offenders promptly. Police teams across ranks will receive in-depth briefings for effective duty execution.
Riot squads on perpetual standby, special patrols at hotspots, fully staffed emergency lines, alert hospitals, and fire services form the backbone of the plan. Recalling last year’s 20 communal flare-ups, ADGP Pankaj Darad stressed proactive vigilance and compulsory peace committee gatherings by DMs.
This multi-layered strategy not only addresses past pitfalls but also promotes inclusive celebrations. Bihar aims to turn Holi into a symbol of unity, with authorities leaving no stone unturned for resident safety and festivity.
