Bhubaneswar will witness heightened security arrangements during Holi as the Commissionerate Police roll out extensive measures to maintain law and order. Under the supervision of the DCP, four Additional DCPs and eight SP-rank officers, as many as 17 mobile patrol teams will monitor sensitive and crowded areas across the capital.

To curb violations, drunk-and-drive checks will be conducted at 85 locations, with authorities warning that vehicles will be seized and offenders taken into custody. Additionally, 30 platoons of police personnel will be deployed across key points in Bhubaneswar and Cuttack.

Fire Services and Odisha Disaster Rapid Action Force (ODRAF) teams will be stationed at 10 bathing ghats and riverbanks to prevent mishaps. Four striking teams will remain on standby for emergency response.

Twin City Commissioner Suresh Dev Datta Singh urged citizens to celebrate Holi responsibly, avoid chemical colours, and refrain from unlawful activities, stressing that strict enforcement will continue throughout the festivities to ensure peace and harmony.
