Spokesperson for the Commissioner’s Office SSP Madhav Nepal briefed the security plan for the day. “We are fully prepared and committed and there is no reason to panic,” he said.
According to him, security check at the gates will be tight. They will be closely monitoring the crowd with their surveillance cameras spread across the stadium. Consumption of alcoholic beverages is completely prohibited, and outside beverages aren’t allowed either. Backpacks and professional cameras will not be allowed.
The Nepal Police will be closely working together with the 500 security personnel from Garud Security and 200 local volunteers. A crowd of 20,000 to 25,000 is expected at the venue, and the organizers believe that the security measures should suffice.
The venue will be equipped with metal detectors, bomb disposal squad, ambulance, fire brigade and riot control vehicles. A number of police officers will also be deployed in civil dress for closer monitoring.
With parking space pre-allocated and ample number of gates, the situation of congestion should not be a problem inside and outside the stadium, Nepal said.
“At an event like this, we do not expect the crowd to be still. Taking that in consideration, we have formulated a strategy likewise.”
However, the organizers also revealed that Adams will have his own security personnel and Nepal Police will be aiding the entourage in case of any possible mob attacks.
