For the first time, an all-woman elite commando unit from the Anti-Terrorist Squad of Uttar Pradesh Police will be deployed to ensure security at the annual Magh Mela in Prayagraj. These thirty specially trained commandos will work alongside local police to maintain strict surveillance across the fairgrounds, particularly at the ghats and within the mela campus. The women have undergone extensive training in unarmed combat, martial arts, and the use of advanced equipment, preparing them to respond swiftly to any security threats. Authorities highlight that these teams are on high alert and ready to take immediate action if required, aiming to provide a safe environment for the expected fifteen crore visitors.
