Vadodara Police have deployed SHE Team personnel wearing traditional attire at Navratri garba grounds to discreetly monitor crowds and protect women and girls from harassment during the festivities.
Undercover officers, including Police Inspector Nidhi Kalsaria and her team, dressed in traditional chaniya-choli to blend in as regular participants, entered venues like the 'Swarna Nagri' garba, monitored crowd safety, and checked CCTV and control room setups.
Commercial Garba organisers in areas like Bopal, Shela, Hathijan, and Sanand are required to undergo a daily 24-point security audit covering fire safety, electrical installations, and structural stability, and submit daily certificates to local police.
