This time in the famed and historic Lav Kush Ramlila Committee being held at Red Fort ground, people are excited about the Baahubali fame superstar Prabhas coming to burn the effigy of Ravana on the day of Dussehra i.e. Vijayadashami. So far, more than five lakh passes have been distributed among the people. An additional two lakh passes are being printed.
Arjun Kumar, president of Lav Kush Ramlila Committee, informed that on the day of Dussehra the entire focus was on staging the Leela, but the craze among people about Prabhas' presence was not anticipated. Now all the preparations are being done on a different level keeping this in mind. Hundreds of phone calls are being received where people are asking for passes and requesting to meet Prabhas.
Tight security arrangements have been made. About 125 CCTV cameras have been installed by Lav Kush Ramlila Committee to monitor the venue of the Leela staging. More than 800 volunteers will be deployed as security. 120 black commando security guards have also been deployed. An additional number of Delhi Police Security Force personnel will be present at the stage during the Leela staging.
According to the committee, this year, instead of 3, 9 effigies of Ravana, Kumbhakaran, and Meghnad are being installed. Their heights will be up to 100 feet. The reason for the installation of 9 effigies is that the President, the Chief Minister, and Prabhas can each burn separate effigies of Ravana, Kumbhakaran, and Meghnad together.
