Independence Day preparation: Delhi Police on high alert
In wake of the recent terror blasts in Bangalore and Ahmedabad in India, Delhi Police have alerted operators of guesthouses, cyber cafes, telephone booths and taxi services to keep a register on their customers as a security measure ahead of Independence Day.
Installation of CCTVs is asked in cyber cafes, hotels and guesthouses while telephone booth operators will maintain a register to record the entry of every customer.
Owners of guesthouses and hotels were also asked not to allow their guests to use hotel address for getting a mobile connection, said a senior police officer.
Police have asked the operators to keep a watch on every customer and report about any suspicious people. Police instructed them not to allow the service to any one without proper identification.
The city police are also installing 34 CCTVs in crowded areas from August 10 to 15; the official said adding that high security personnel are deployed on the borders and in the city.
“The deployment of paramilitary personnel has already started. Personnel from BSF, CRPF and RAF will be on streets,” the official said telling about their preliminary preparation for security on the Independence Day.
