The Karnataka government has initiated a massive security operation in Belagavi ahead of the crucial legislative session at the Suvarna Vidhana Soudha. A formidable force of 6,000 police personnel has been deputed to ensure law and order and provide airtight security for the proceedings.
Large-Scale Accommodation Arrangements for Session
To house the large contingent of officials, staff, and legislators converging on the city, the state administration has secured accommodations on a rental basis for a period of 12 days. The arrangements are extensive and diverse, tapping into multiple types of facilities across Belagavi.
The list of secured properties includes available government quarters and guesthouses. Furthermore, the administration has booked rooms at local universities and taken over vacant government buildings for the duration. To meet the high demand, private lodges, marriage halls, and suitable apartment complexes have also been obtained on rent.
Comprehensive Security Blueprint for Belagavi
The deployment of thousands of police officers underscores the high-priority status of the security plan for the Suvarna Vidhana Soudha. This iconic building, which serves as the second capital of Karnataka, hosts the legislature's winter session, drawing all state ministers, MLAs, and senior bureaucrats to Belagavi.
The security blanket will cover not just the Vidhana Soudha premises but also the routes used by dignitaries and the various accommodations where they will be staying. The police are expected to manage traffic, crowd control, and conduct surveillance to preempt any untoward incidents during the session.
Logistical Undertaking for Smooth Proceedings
The scale of the arrangements highlights the significant logistical undertaking required to host the state legislature outside the capital, Bengaluru. Renting private facilities like marriage halls and lodges points to the influx of people associated with the session, exceeding the capacity of permanent government infrastructure in the city.
The move, finalized and reported on 07 December 2025, ensures that all essential personnel have designated lodging, facilitating smooth conduct of the legislative business. The focus remains on creating a secure and efficient environment for the democratic process to unfold in Belagavi without any disruptions.
