The Maharashtra State Fire Service has positioned 116 personnel at the Tulja Bhawani Temple in Tuljapur ahead of the upcoming festive celebrations.
The Maharashtra State Fire Service (MSF) has deployed a contingent of 116 fire‑service personnel at the Tulja Bhawani Temple in Tuljapur as the region prepares for the upcoming festive season. The deployment is intended to bolster safety measures and ensure rapid response capability during the expected surge in devotees.
Tulja Bhawani Temple, a major pilgrimage site in Osmanabad district, traditionally draws large crowds during religious festivals. Authorities anticipate higher footfall this year, prompting the fire service to station teams equipped with firefighting gear and emergency medical kits on site.
Officials from the MSF said the presence of the personnel will help mitigate fire hazards, manage crowd‑related emergencies, and coordinate with temple management and local police to maintain public safety throughout the celebrations.
