The Noida Police has prepared a security and traffic plan ahead of Petrotech 2014, the three-day international oil and gas conference scheduled to be held at Expo Mart in Greater Noida from January 12. A meeting of senior police officers, including Uttar Pradesh ADG (law and order) and IG (Meerut and Agra zone), was held at the venue recently to tighten security measures for the event, which will be attended by the Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Petroleum and Natural Gas Minister, M Veerappa Moily.
According to a senior police officer, 1,000 policemen, apart from Provincial Armed Constabulary (PAC) and CISF personnel, will be deployed to avoid any untoward incident. “From DND flyway in Noida to the India Expo Mart via Noida-Greater Noida Expressway, we will deploy patrolling vehicles at regular intervals. Six SPs, 12 Additional SPs and 24 DSPs will be in-charge of managing the entire security and traffic in the city.
About 600 additional constables and women police officers will also be on duty. We will make various mobile teams and areas will be divided in sectors to have a check on the security,” said Brijesh Kumar Singh, Superintendent of Police (Rural) of Greater Noida. For smooth flow of traffic, movement of heavy vehicles on the Delhi-Noida Road from DND flyway to Express Highway will be restricted as foreign delegates also
