Bareilly SP City Chirag Jain Tightens Security for Ravan Dahan
SP City Chirag Jain inspects Ravan Dahan sites in Bareilly to ensure public safety and law and order during the festivities.
As the city gears up for the grand celebrations of Dussehra, Bareilly Superintendent of Police (City) Chirag Jain has taken a proactive lead in ensuring the festivities remain safe and orderly. In a bid to prevent any untoward incidents, the SP City conducted a comprehensive review of the Bareilly Ravan Dahan security arrangements at key venues across the city.
Strategic Inspections at Key Venues
To ensure that the massive crowds expected during the event are managed effectively, SP City Chirag Jain visited the primary sites where the effigies of Ravan will be burnt. His inspection tour included a detailed visit to the Ramlila venue situated at Hartmann School, where he assessed the layout and crowd flow.
Following this, the officer moved to the Ravan Dahan site at Ashraf Khan Cantonment. At both locations, the focus was on identifying potential bottlenecks and ensuring that safety protocols are strictly adhered to by the organizers.
Directives for Law and Order
During his visits, SP City Jain did not just observe but engaged in deep discussions with the event organizers. He evaluated the existing security protocols and provided specific, actionable directives to the police personnel and officers stationed on the ground.
The primary objective of these instructions is to maintain a tight grip on law and order, ensuring that the public can celebrate the victory of good over evil without any disruptions or safety hazards.
A New Command in Bareilly
This rigorous approach to security comes shortly after Chirag Jain, an IPS officer, took charge as the SP City of Bareilly in mid-October 2026. Since assuming his role, the officer has made it clear that his administrative tenure will be defined by two major pillars: the strengthening of law and order and a heightened focus on crime control within the city.
By personally overseeing the security for the Ravan Dahan events, SP City Jain is signaling a commitment to proactive policing and public safety in his new jurisdiction.
