Kolkata: Kolkata police have decided to spread the command of combat battalion and special force striking command in 38 points in the city to thwart a terror attack during the Puja Durga.
In addition, there will be 31 fast city patrols throughout the city.
Three divisions in South and Southwest Kolkata where 50% puash will have 18 such patrols.
The deployment in Middle and North Kolkata will be mobile with a vigil on the road because it entered the pandal prohibited under the orders of the Calcutta High Court.
These are a few steps taken by Kolkata Police Top Brass after the state’s internal security wing suggested maximum vigilance during Durga Puja and Dussehra followed the warning terror.
In addition to 13 fast response teams, PCR will be deployed 24 × 7 in all cities in 26 points in three different shifts.
Likewise, there will be 11 HRFS teams (plus one in backup).
The police have created 13 special HRFS teams that will be responsible for important crossings such as Garatat, Golpark, Ruby Crossing and Chetla Central Road-Govinda Auddy Road.
The police will use a wireless pilot car, including PCR, which will escort fire engine vehicles during an emergency.
The police also planned to establish 47 Tower watch and CCTV cameras while in 48 other points.
There will be separate deployments for the Kalighat temple and several other religious temples besides Alipore Zoos, Millennium Park and Malls.
Four to six police officers will be deployed at each metro station.
“The police responsible for each large pandal must ensure that the bags carried around the pandal zone are randomly checked without disturbing the flow of the crowd.
If needed, the person to be examined can be separated.
Articles left behind, if any, must be separated quickly in detection Without making panic among the crowd that can lead to the raid.
The place in each pandal must be sought throughly long before the crowd began to come by volunteers and the police deployed, “said an officer.
Organizers and complex have been asked to ensure that no vendors with gas balloon cylinders are permitted around a pandal or complex.
Lalbazar said he wanted to continue the examination of Naka at night from Chaturthi, starting as high as 8 nights.
Fifteen leading points, including Setu Vidyasagar, Chingrighata, the approach of Howrah Bridge, has been chosen for checking Naka at this time.
