The Delhi Police has intensified security arrangements and increased deployments in the border areas of the national Capital for new year celebrations.
More than 10,000 police personnel, including traffic police, are expected to be on the ground to rein in hooliganism and traffic violations.
"After Christmas, we have made a robust plan for the security arrangements for new year eve. We want everyone to welcome the new year with great zeal but no one will be allowed to breach the law. Additional pickets, barricades and personnel -- including paramilitary deployment -- will be made at the borders of the Capital to tackle nuisance by people from the adjoining states," a senior police officer said.
Delhi shares borders with Haryana and Uttar Pradesh and lies close to Rajasthan. A large number of people from these three states arrive in the national Capital for new year celebrations. The police already deployed police personnel at more than 10 locations for Christmas, but now they have intensified their security and heavy deployment has already been done on more than 15 locations from where vehicles enter the national Capital.
"The traffic police has already chalked out a plan to combat motorcycle stunts and drink driving. Additional forces from different police stations will be deployed to help the traffic police," another senior police officer said. According to the police, there will be shift duties and SHOs have been ordered to be on the road with their teams to maintain law and order on new year eve. Teams will impound two or four wheeler immediately if anyone is found indulging in stunt-like activities.
