Ahead of the celebrations, Delhi government issued a strict advisory urging people to maintain peace and follow certain rules, especially regarding animal sacrifices. The advisory clearly stated that no animal should be sacrificed on streets or in public places. Anyone found violating this rule may face legal action.
The government also banned the sacrifice of prohibited animals and asked the public to report any violations. Officials reminded citizens that these measures are in place to maintain social order and ensure animal welfare.
Meanwhile, Delhi Police and paramilitary forces were on high alert to ensure a peaceful festival. Around 36 paramilitary companies were deployed along with the local police. Special attention was given to minority-dominated and sensitive areas, where drone cameras were used for surveillance. Security teams began monitoring key locations a day before Bakrid to prevent any disturbances.
