Crowd Safety and Emergencies

Simple rules to stay safe and together in big crowds.

Fix a meeting point with your group before you enter the crowd. Write the phone number of a family member on a card for children and elders. Follow police and volunteer instructions and do not push at narrow ghats. Note where the medical posts are.

Emergency numbers: 112 (national emergency) and 108 (ambulance in Maharashtra).

Please confirm dates, timings and rules with official notices before you travel.
