The Mumbai police demonstrated exceptional crowd management and organisational skills during the victory procession of Team India at Marine Drive. The cops anticipated a large turnout of enthusiastic fans and meticulously planned and executed a comprehensive bandobast to ensure the safety and security of everyone present. According to the police, they were expecting around 1 lakh people but around 2.5 lakh participated in cheering the team at Marine Drive and Wankhede stadium.
There was a robust deployment of around 600 police personnel along Marine Drive. This contingent included approximately 100 female police constables, ensuring a balanced and effective security presence. In addition to the constables, the police force was reinforced by the presence of two additional commissioners and seven deputy commissioners of police (DCPs). This high-ranking vigilance was crucial in managing the large and energetic crowds, ensuring that all security protocols were adhered to.
