The City police have put in place a high-tech security plan for New Year’s Eve to ensure safe and peaceful celebrations. Sniffer dogs will be used to hunt down drug consumption on city roads, while drones will scan rooftops and isolated areas to prevent illegal activities. In addition, police will set up checking and nakabandi at 131 points across the city to keep strict watch on drunk driving and maintain law and order throughout the night. Around 2,500 policemen, from police constables to the Police Commissioner, will be deployed on city roads to ensure public safety and prevent any untoward incidents during the celebrations.
Sniffer dogs to check drug consumption
Commissioner of Police (CP) Dr Ravinder Kumar Singal said that rising drug consumption has been taken very seriously. To curb this menace, the police will use sniffer dogs to check vehicles on city roads.
Three special dog squads will be deployed to detect drug use. “These dogs are trained to identify all kinds of narcotics, from ganja to mephedrone (MD),” the CP said.
Drones to scan rooftops
Mobile surveillance vehicles equipped with drone cameras will patrol the city. Drones will be used to monitor isolated areas and rooftops to check illicit activities. Stern action would be ordered to concerned police station if any illegal activity came to notice, warned the CP.
Drunk driving checks at 131 points
To maintain law and order, police blockades (nakabandis) will be set up at 131 strategic locations across Nagpur. Staff from local police stations along with traffic police personnel will be stationed at these points to ensure strict checking and a strong police presence.
Blinking barricades and ambulances on standby
The barricades used for nakabandi will have blinking lights so that they are clearly visible from a distance during night hours. This step has been taken keeping in mind last year’s incident when a four-wheeler rammed into a barricade at night. Government ambulances will also be kept ready at nakabandi points to shift injured persons to hospitals if needed.
Strict action against anti-social elements
Senior police officers have instructed their teams to ensure a trouble-free environment for families moving around the city during celebrations. Anti-social elem
ents will be immediately detained. Special patrolling will also be carried out at popular gathering spots like Futala and Dharampeth.
Special focus on women’s safety
The Police Commissioner has taken a stern stand on women’s safety. Police inspectors have been directed to act swiftly against anyone involved in molestation or eve-teasing of women and girls. The overall bandobast will involve Traffic Police, Quick Response Teams (QRT), Riot Control Police (RCP), and staff from all police stations.
