Siwan district police administration in Bihar has ramped up security measures to ensure a peaceful celebration. Authorities have seized over 500 litres of illicit country liquor in the past week. Check posts have been set up along the Siwan-UP border for round-the-clock vehicle inspections and surveillance. The \”Nasha Mukt Holi\” campaign is actively spreading awareness in schools, panchayats, and social media using hashtags like #SafeHoli2025. The Siwan administration is actively working to ensure that this festival is remembered for harmony and the fragrance of colours, rather than violence and unrest,” saidSP Amitesh Kumar, Siwan district superintendent of police. \”The safety of every citizen is our priority. The joy of Holi is meaningful only when everyone celebrates it safely and with respect,\” he said. \”Excessive drinking during Holi often leads to violence. We will take strict action against any misconduct,\” he added. \”We have been doing meetings with village heads and local leaders to promote a violence-free and liquor-free celebration,\” Kumar said.
