According to the DGP, police presence has been increased in many areas. Officers have stepped up visible patrolling so that people feel safe and confident while casting their votes. Additional forces have also been deployed in sensitive and highly sensitive polling stations where there may be a higher risk of disturbances.

The police are closely monitoring these areas to prevent any clashes, violence, or illegal activities. Special teams have been formed to keep watch on troublemakers and take quick action if needed.
