Around 100 female officers have been deployed to cover the major ghats. Additionally, 28 female police personnel have been assigned to handle continuous public announcements starting at 4 pm each day from Monday across 14 prominent ghats and intersections, including Nimtala Ghat, Gwalior Ghat, Babughat, Bagbazar Ghat, Kumortuli Ghat, Doi Ghat, Rabindra Sarani, and the Palashi Gate Road-Kingsway junction. Lalbazar has established four special police camps near Nimtala Ghat, Gwalior Ghat, Doi Ghat, and the river police office, supported by roughly 250 police pickets deployed across the city. Day-shift pickets are also guarding 20 riverbank locations. To curb illegal fireworks in narrow lanes and preserve order, police patrols are operating in two shifts using 62 PCR vehicles, 18 special heavy radio flying squads, 10 heavy radio flying squads, 30 PCR mobiles, and 126 two-officer auto-rickshaws. Watchtowers with binocular-equipped officers are monitoring 27 junctions. Emergency readiness includes nine dedicated police escort vehicles for fire engines, Quick Reaction Teams at nine locations, four special QRTs, 24 total ambulances, and an auxiliary control room at the Police Training School in Hastings.
Police admitted that while major riverfronts were tightly controlled, managing neighborhood water bodies was a challenge. In contrast to firecracker violations, authorities maintained a zero-tolerance stance on high-decibel DJ music across all locations. To prevent law-and-order disruptions and ensure smooth procession management, at Lalbazar has drawn up a security plan. Mobility and crowd safety will be monitored by nine traffic police teams stationed across eight major South Kolkata intersections and Strand Road. On the river, four specialized river police teams are conducting regular patrols.
