The City Police have intensified security arrangements in the wake of heavy crowd of Deepavali purchasers in all the business hubs.
In view of the heavy rush, adequate police personnel have been posted in every nook and corner of the city to prevent untoward incidents. Mobile patrol parties were going round to ensure the free flow of traffic and also monitor the movement of anti-social elements.
The police have taken all effective steps to create awareness among the people on protecting their belongings.
Giant wall posters and banners have been displayed prominently explaining the dubious activities of the criminal elements and how to escape from them.
The posters warn the people from befriending with unknown persons and keeping valuables in the locked two-wheelers and cars.
The flow of traffic and the movement of anti-social elements were being monitored and additional closed circuit television cameras have been installed for this purpose.
It was the flyover construction activities which create traffic bottlenecks near new bus stand, four roads junction etc. Police personnel and Home Guards have been posted to regulate the traffic at these points. “The police have done everything possible to ensure a safe Deepavali,” a senior police officer said.
