Authorities in Sihor are preparing a large holding area and a high‑technology plan to manage an expected crowd of about 100,000 devotees at the upcoming religious gathering.
Sihor, Gujarat, is gearing up for a major religious congregation that is expected to draw roughly one lakh devotees. Local officials have announced the creation of an expanded holding area to accommodate the influx and to ensure orderly movement of pilgrims.
The administration has also outlined a high‑technology crowd‑control strategy. While specific tools have not been disclosed, the plan reportedly includes real‑time monitoring systems, enhanced surveillance, and digital coordination mechanisms aimed at reducing congestion and improving safety.
Organisers have emphasized that the measures are designed to handle the pressure of large crowds, particularly in the Singhsth zone, which is slated to be the focal point of the event. Security personnel and volunteers will be deployed to guide attendees and respond swiftly to any incidents.
The preparation reflects a broader trend of incorporating modern technology into traditional pilgrimages to safeguard participants while preserving the spiritual atmosphere of the gathering.
