A Security Analyst Gives Expert Opinion

There are several implications of the actions of the act of throwing money on the streets in a crowded area, especially during festivities.

How Situations Like This Can Be Managed

He further touched on some measures that should be put in place to manage the risks that come with throwing money into crowds. He mentioned that with the COVID 19 pandemic still looming, it is important to pay particular attention to large gatherings. He postulated about the way forward is to mitigate such occurrences:

I strongly believe that the security agencies tasked to oversee the smooth running of events like these should have a discourse with organizers to address some of these ‘expected’ issues and also list out the do’s and don’ts to whoever is being billed to perform a task one way or the other at these events.
