As millions across India prepare to celebrate Holi on March 14, specially-abled children in Mumbai kicked off the festivities early by joyfully smearing colours on each other at a school on March 12.
To ensure a safe and incident-free Holi, Mumbai Police announced strict monitoring measures, deploying 11,000 personnel across the city.
Authorities will closely watch activities such as throwing coloured water or balloons at pedestrians and preventing drunken brawls on the streets.
Additionally, uttering obscene words, slogans or singing vulgar songs in public has been prohibited from March 12 to 18.
Police will also crack down on drink-driving, harassment of women and illegal drug sales, reinforcing their commitment to maintaining order during the celebrations.
