B'luru: Home Min. Dr. G. Parameshwara meets senior cops ahead of Chrismtas, New Year
Bengaluru: Karnataka Home Minister Dr. G Parameshwara has directed police officers to initiate necessary measures to prevent any untoward incidents during the Christmas and New Year celebrations in Bengaluru.
The Minister held a meeting with senior police officers at the city police commissioner's office on Monday and highlighted that last year a proper security arrangement was made for the Christmas and New Year celebrations. “Since Bengaluru is a city that attracts attention around the world, security should be taken very responsibly without neglecting anything,” he said.
“In the backdrop of Christmas celebrations, there should be constant contact with the intelligence department. Greater emphasis should be placed on women's safety. Care should be taken to prevent minor accidents. Those celebrating the New Year should not be harassed. They should be provided with safety. Action should be taken against miscreants who cause trouble,” he said.
He also emphasized that during this critical period, city police officers and staff should not be granted leave except in cases where it is absolutely necessary and unavoidable. He warned that if any kind of accident occurs during Christmas and New Year celebrations, the concerned DCP, ACP, and inspector would be held responsible, and no excuses would be entertained.
Parmeshwara advised seeking assistance from BBMP, BMTC, BMRCL, the Health Department, and the Fire Department. Precautions should be taken to prevent fire accidents. Authorities were instructed to monitor incidents involving drunkenness, bike-wheeling miscreants, and individuals with previous criminal records. He also suggested arranging proper parking facilities for vehicles.
State Director General of Police Alok Mohan, Bengaluru City Police Commissioner B. Dayanand, Additional Commissioner of CCB Division Dr. Chandragupta and Deputy Commissioners of Police and Assistant Commissioners of Police of all divisions were present during the meeting.
