Millions of devotees are expected to attend this massive event from across the country, prompting the administration to make exceptional and unprecedented security arrangements. The security system put in place for this event in Ayodhya sets a unique example.
Comprehensive Security Plan Prepared in Ayodhya
Multiple levels of security have been implemented in Ayodhya in view of the flag hoisting ceremony. The administration, police, central security agencies, and intelligence agencies have jointly prepared a joint operation plan.
The entire city has been divided into red, yellow, and green security zones.
The temple complex has been declared a high-security zone.
Security checkpoints have been established at key entry and exit points.

Over 10,000 police personnel
Several companies of the RAF, PAC, and CRPF
ATS and bomb disposal squads
Dog squads, Quick Response Teams (QRTs)

Security agencies have transformed Ayodhya into a “security shield” to immediately detect any suspicious activity.
Crowd Control—The Biggest Challenge
Keeping a crowd of millions of people in order is the most difficult task at any major religious event.
The administration has taken extensive measures to ensure this:
Special route maps have been created for the entry of devotees.
Barricading and alternative routes have been arranged.
Drone cameras, HD CCTV cameras, and live monitoring are being used to control the crowd.
Separate arrangements have been made for slow- and fast-paced pedestrian paths around the temple complex.
Human flow has been maintained in a “circular movement” to prevent jostling or chaos at any point.
Intelligence Surveillance and High-Tech Security Arrangements
In a city like Ayodhya, it is difficult to successfully organize such a large event without intelligence warning.
Therefore:
All state and central intelligence agencies are on 24×7 alert.
Mobile surveillance, social media monitoring, and signal intelligence have been activated.
Over 500 high-resolution CCTV cameras have been installed in the city, which are monitored from a centralized control room.
Drone cameras are being used to monitor every movement of large groups.
Separate security circles for VIP movement
The flag hoisting ceremony is expected to be attended by several Union Ministers, state government representatives, saints, and prominent personalities, including the Prime Minister.
For this reason:
VIP routes have been completely cleared.
The SPG has been deployed for the Prime Minister’s security under Z+ category.
A separate gate, separate parking, and a separate security line have been created for VIP entry.
Three “security circles” have been created for VIP security, where entry of any unauthorized person is strictly prohibited.
Traffic Management—New Arrangements Throughout the City
New traffic planning has been implemented throughout the city of Ayodhya to ensure smooth flow of traffic for the arrival of millions of devotees.
No-entry zones, one-way routes, and emergency lanes have been designated in Ayodhya.
A diversion plan has been issued for vehicles traveling to Ayodhya from outside districts.
Parking arrangements have been divided into several large sectors, from which devotees are being transported to the temple via shuttle buses.
More than 2,000 traffic police officers are handling this responsibility.
Special Arrangements for Medical and Emergency Services
Medical facilities are crucial in such a large crowd.
More than 50 mobile medical units have been deployed in the city.
An emergency medical camp, ambulances, and medical staff have been deployed within the temple complex.
A special alert has been declared at the Ayodhya District Hospital.
Medical teams have been trained to respond within five minutes in case of an emergency.
Efforts to Ensure the Dignity of the Religious Event
Along with security, maintaining a peaceful and calm atmosphere is also crucial.
A large team of volunteers has been formed to provide guidance to devotees.
Special attention has been paid to maintaining cleanliness, discipline, and a calm atmosphere within the temple complex.
The administration has activated a “Fact-Check Cell” to prevent all kinds of rumors.
Role of Local Residents and Traders
Traders and local citizens of Ayodhya have also assured cooperation with the administration for this event.
Shopkeepers have been given periodic guidelines for crowd control.
Local citizens are joining volunteer groups to help guide the way and maintain order.
