Security is another major focus. CCTV cameras and round-the-clock security are mandatory at pandals. Organizers must ensure proper lighting, fire safety, and secure electrical connections, for which a demand draft (DD) is required.

For idol immersion, the police have directed that it should be done only at designated sites. Immersion in unauthorized places will lead to action.
