Puri SP Kanwar Vishal Singh spoke to Debabrata Mohapatra about security arrangements for Rath Yatra, which will begin on July 12.
Tell me about security settings? It’s almost in the final stage.
A few days ago Director General of Police, Director of Intelligence, Director of Extra General (Law and Order) and Deputy Inspector General (intelligence) reviewed our readiness.
DGP appreciates security blueprints.
We will leave no stone missed because Rath Yatra is peaceful and free incident.
The deployment of the police and officers will be completed in one or two days.
Without worship, it is relieving for the police who remember that there will be no many crowd control and traffic rules? Although worshipers will not be allowed to attend Rath Yatra given the restrictions of Covid-19, we still face challenges.
To ensure a hassle-free festival with Covid Safety Protocol Compliance.
Enforcement of training orders that are right below part 144 CRPC to prevent meeting people near the temple and grand road, where the train will roll over, it will also be another challenge.
We must prevent unauthorized access to the temple too.
We will show zero tolerance against violators of standard operating procedures (SOP).
Like last year, we are looking for people cooperation to obey the government’s order remembering the pandemic.
What steps are taken so that the locals are not affected because Section 144? Last year, Section 144 CRPC was enacted throughout Puri Regency to prevent the worshipers from Rath Yatra.
This time, the training order will still apply only throughout the city of Puri.
People in need, especially those who seek medical assistance and other emergencies, will not face problems.
Our personnel have been briefed not to harass people in trouble.
We have discussed with local residents on both sides of the Grand Road and seeking their cooperation.
Security surveys have been completed in 70 small lines and by-lanes, connecting the Grand Road.
Police personnel will be deployed at these points to prevent any meetings.
You hold a meeting with the perpetrators tap local …
The tourist site has been asked not to accept reservations from tourists during Rath Yatra.
About 41 hotels are located on both sides of the Grand Road.
Relief people have assured us full cooperation.
What steps are taken to ensure that the normal policing and the function of the police station is not affected during RATH Yatra? We will ensure that the complainant does not face difficulties while reaching the police station during the explanation of the residents’ command.
Van patrolling will be on the road.
People can contact 100 for any assistance.
For the first time, police personnel will be prevented from attracting trains …
The recent decision was taken at Chhatisa Nijog (Confederation of various associations) from the temple only allowed the servants to pull the train.
We don’t have a problem with the decision.
