Coimbatore: The police department will tighten security in the district ahead of the 22nd anniversary of the Coimbatore serial bomb blast that falls on Friday.
Over 3,000 personnel will be deployed in public places including bus stands, railway stations, places of worship and communally-sensitive areas.
Even though most of the rallies and processions to pay tribute to the victims of the blasts are taking place in the city limit, the rural police have also formed teams to be deployed at major junctions.
Police personnel from neighbouring districts, apart from those from armed reserved police, rapid action force, city and rural police, will be deployed, sources said.
Additional director general of police Jayanth Murali is expected to visit the city to oversee the security arrangements.
BJP will conduct a remembrance meeting on Friday for those who lost their lives in the blasts, former Union minister Pon Radhakrishnan said here on Wednesday. “The event aims to remind people that such a tragedy should not happen again,” he said.
Party functionaries will take a procession from Bharathi Park at Saibaba Colony to the Post Office at R S Puram, via Vadakovai. They will hold a tribute for those who lost their lives in the blasts. The procession will also be in support of the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA), district BJP representatives said.
