Diwali Arrangements
Elaborate arrangements were made during Diwali festival addressing both law & order and security requirements. This year, for better public convenience, wide publicity through advertisements in Press and FM Channel listing out conditions to be fulfilled by the applicants were given well in advance for grant of temporary license for sale of fire crackers during Diwali. Licenses were also granted strictly on merit to those who fulfilled all the requirements, ensuring that there was no compromise on the safety and security of citizens.
The police ensured close monitoring of security arrangements through CCTVs, access control, checking and frisking of visitors, parking of vehicles after thorough security checks and adequate fire-fighting arrangements.
Anti-terrorist measures were taken in full vigour during this period, and included mock drills, checking of guest houses & cyber cafes, meetings with all stake-holders of Eyes & Ears Scheme including MTAs & RWAs, anti-sabotage checks, deployment of QRTs, Hit Teams, Morchas, and Machaans. Due to all necessary efforts and hard work by the field officers, the festivals of Dhanteras and Diwali have gone off smoothly.
Delhi Police will continue these arrangements in the same intensity in the next fortnight in view of the ensuing festivals of Chhat Pooja, Guru Nanak Birthday etc.
