    What's the story

    In a first, the world's largest spiritual gathering, Mahakumbh 2025, will use robotic fire tenders to ensure fire safety.

    The robots, weighing between 20-25kg, can reach places where personnel can't.

    They can climb stairs and douse fires with precision, ensuring quicker and safer responses.

    Enhanced security

    Specialized commandos and high-tech equipment to ensure safety

    Along with the robots, 200 specially trained fire commandos will also be deployed at the event to handle emergencies and ensure the safety of visitors.

    The Special Trained Rescue Group (STRG), inspired by the NDRF and SDRF, consists of personnel trained by the NDRF and Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) Hyderabad.

    The unit will be deployed in high-risk zones during the fair.

    Budget hike

    Fire safety budget increased for Mahakumbh 2025

    The budget for fire services at the event has been massively hiked from ₹6 crore in the last Kumbh to ₹67 crore for Mahakumbh 2025.

    Daily fire audits will be conducted and sanitation workers will check for unsafe equipment use in camps.

    Additional Director General (Fire Services) Padmaja Chauhan also inspected facilities like barracks and stores, instructing officials to ensure tents' electrical wiring meets safety standards.

    Equipment showcase

    Advanced firefighting equipment demonstrated at Mahakumbh

    An articulating water tower that can spray water from a height of 35 meters will also be on display at Mahakumbh.

    The tower has a high-tech camera to keep an eye on fire-prone areas from above.

    During a demonstration, firefighting robots, along with other modern equipment like all-terrain vehicles (ATVs), fire bullets, foam tenders, and articulating water towers, demonstrated their efficiency in tackling potential fire hazards.
