Mumbai Police has taken extensive measures to ensure public safety during Holi 2025 by deploying nearly 11,000 personnel across the city. This includes 1,767 police officers and 9,145 constables, supported by the State Reserve Police Force (SRPF), Riot Control Police (RCP), Quick Response Teams (QRT), and Home Guards.
To maintain law and order, prohibitory orders have been issued from March 12 to March 17. These orders restrict actions that may cause public nuisance, such as offensive gestures, inappropriate public behaviour, and the forceful application of colours. Roadblocks will be set up at key locations, and additional patrolling will be conducted in sensitive areas to prevent any untoward incidents.
Police officials have also warned against reckless driving and drink-driving during the festivities. Strict action will be taken against those caught violating traffic rules. Checkpoints will be set up across the city to monitor vehicle movements and ensure compliance with road safety regulations.
In previous years, Holi celebrations have occasionally led to law and order concerns. To prevent incidents, Mumbai Police has placed special emphasis on crowd management in densely populated areas, ensuring that celebrations remain safe and peaceful. Police units will be stationed near residential societies, public places, and major Holi celebration hubs.
Authorities have urged citizens to celebrate responsibly and report any suspicious activities or unlawful behaviour. The security arrangements aim to create a safe environment while allowing people to enjoy the festival without fear.
With thousands of officers on duty, strict regulations in place, and continuous monitoring, Mumbai is set for a Holi celebration that prioritises safety and order.
