Delhi Lieutenant-Governor (L-G) Anil Baijal on Thursday directed the Delhi Police to intensify beat patrolling on motorcycles to increase police visibility in order to curb street crimes.
‘Greater coverage
“The L-G directed that beat patrolling on motorcycles be instensified as it serves the dual purpose of increased police visibility as well as greater area coverage in a short span of time. He also urged dynamic picketing and integrated checking be promoted and the barricades must be fixed with reflective tapes and manned properly,” said a statement released by the Raj Niwas.
The L-G has also directed the Excise Department to ensure “exemplary punishment” in cases where liquor is served to underage persons, the statement said.
Mr. Baijal has also urged the Education Department to increase the number of security personnel deployed in and around schools to increase a sense of security among students, especially girls.
“The L-G also directed that registration of senior citizens residing alone should be facilitated by the Delhi Police and regular surprise checks to this effect may be carried out. Delhi Police has been advised to carry out an outreach programme so that maximum senior citizens may be registered,” the statement further read.
