Four bomb disposal squads, quick response teams, 23 CCTV cameras, 29 PCR
vans, 108 emergency ambulances and fire engines will be kept in alert
mode to thwart any untoward incident during the procession.
As many as 38 spots have been identified on the procession route which
share a tainted past. “We have marked 38 locations where security will
be stiff. While 23 CCTV cameras have been installed on the entire
procession stretch, sensitive areas will be laced with PTZ cameras. Four
bomb disposal squads, 29 PCR vans and four quick response teams will
also be kept in the alert mode,” said the JCP. Each bomb disposal squad
will have 50 members.
“A real time update on the location of the Lord’s chariot will be sent to senior top cops through automated SMSes. 108 ambulances and fire brigade vehicles will be deployed at 13 locations on the 18-km yatra route. About 55 videographers will capture the entire event,” said Sharma.
In case of emergency, mobile phone service providers will be asked to stop their services temporarily, he added.
The department has also decided to honour its best performing constables. “Those cops who will be found violating the orders or discipline will face action,” said a source in the department.
Last year, a batch of IPS officers from Hyderbabad had come to the city to see how city police ensured safety during the mammoth procession. Traffic top cops S M Katara and Siddharth Khatri briefed media personnel about the traffic route on the Rathyatra day. Areas falling under Shahpur police jurisdiction will be equipped with PTZ cameras permanently, said Sharma. CP Notification
