This year, the security arrangements for the Kanwar Yatra in Budaun have been significantly enhanced. The pilgrimage will not solely rely on police personnel, as 11,700 cameras will digitally monitor every activity. Live footage from the Kachhla Ganga Ghat and the entire Kanwar route will be accessible to senior officials in Bareilly.

For the first time, private CCTV cameras installed outside institutions, shops, and homes have been integrated into the police network, alongside government cameras. Separate control rooms have been set up in Budaun and Kachhla for Kanwar Yatra surveillance, with a special monitoring cell also active in Bareilly. The police have linked the access of 11,700 cameras across various parts of the district to their control system. IP addresses of private cameras have been tracked, and their access provided to the police and Bareilly control room, enabling real-time monitoring of all activities along the route.

Special arrangements have been made at Kachhla Ganga Ghat, where five solar-powered CCTV cameras have been installed in secluded areas lacking electricity, often frequented by devotees for bathing away from the main ghat. These cameras will operate 24/7 without electricity. Should any pilgrim be seen heading towards restricted or secluded areas, the control room will alert a police team to escort them to a safe ghat. To further strengthen security, high-mast lights have been installed from Kachhla Ghat to potential congestion points, ensuring uninterrupted night surveillance. Live feed information from the cameras will be regularly shared with ADG Bareilly Zone Ramit Sharma and DIG Bareilly Range A.K. Sahni. SP City Abhishek Singh stated that continuous live monitoring will occur from both Budaun and Bareilly control rooms to facilitate immediate action in any emergency.
