The Delhi Police has implemented a comprehensive security plan for the upcoming Holi festival on March 4, 2026. Security measures are exceptionally high this year due to the ongoing month of Ramadan and rising tensions in the Middle East following the Iran-Israel conflict. Police Commissioner Satish Golcha has instructed all senior officials to increase patrolling and set up additional pickets across the national capital to maintain law and order.
