Jaipur women's safety and festival security

Overview

In Jaipur, authorities are intensifying security measures for the upcoming Navratri and Garba festivals to address women’s safety. Following protests by women and girls at Jawahar Circle—who conducted a night walk to demand a safer environment and question the current law and order system—police are implementing a multi-layered approach.

This strategy includes deploying the Kalika Unit, using female officers in plain clothes to monitor crowds, increasing lighting in dark areas, and enhancing CCTV surveillance. Measures specifically aim to mitigate risks such as harassment, overcrowding, unauthorized filming, and the protection of minors during late-night festivities.
