Tuesday, 16 October 2018 | PNS | Ranchi

Security arrangements would be enhanced in state capital from Tuesday.

Ranchi administration has asked the state forces to keep close watch over every development under their jurisdiction and take swift action if required.

The Ranchi DC and the SP have in a joint order stated that maintaining law and order and ensuring social harmony was their main aim during the puja. The city has been divided into five zones with each zone having dozens of places where security personnel and magistrates have been deployed.

“It is often found that small incident take an ugly turn if not tackled on time and then it takes much bigger efforts to bring back normalcy,” the district officials stated.

Officers in-charge of the police station have been instructed to prepare a list of people with past communal record so that a watch could be kept on them during the puja.

“It is often found that eve teasing and other crime against women often takes a communal shape. Such incidents must be prevented and strict action be taken against the miscreants,” the DC stated in the order.

It may be stated here the administration would post shakti commandos in plainclothes and in uniform at the pandals to prevent crime against women. 

Even though the state capital has not witnessed terror related incident in the recent past, administration has ordered checking of the pandals twice a day with the help of metal detectors and sniffer dogs.

It may be noted that district administration has held several rounds of peace committee meetings at the police station level and the district level. The members of the peace committee belonging from different communities have expressed unison in making the puja peaceful.

The police would be make sufficient security measures across the city for the puja. The entire city particularly the puja pandals and the surrounding area would be under CCTV surveillance, said the Ranchi SP on the issue.

It may be stated here that apart from the district police, the special branch and the other agencies are also working with the administration  on law and order front.
