New Delhi: Police Commissioner Delhi Rakesh Asthana on Friday said the decision to remove the barricade released due to the protest of farmers in Ghazipur and Tikri Borders was taken to provide a positive message after talks with farmers and Haryana leaders.
“The border cannot remain closed forever.
We relate to various factions and farmer leaders and discussions also carried out at the Ministry of Home Affairs.
We decided that, as a positive approach, the barricade must be removed for now,” Asthana said.
Because of barricades, inter-state travel and commercial vehicles are affected.
“We hope that in the future the situation will increase and the normal state is restored,” said the police chief.
Asked about the impact on law and order, Asthana said the right steps would be taken as and if needed.
“If there are laws and situations of order, we will handle it.
We will act in a row.
We are ready for and can handle any situation.
We want to give a message that the situation is normal,” he added.
On Thursday afternoon, Delhi police began to reduce the security layer at the border of Tikri and the same drill was carried out on the Ghazipur border on Friday.
The removal of cement containers and stones in Tikri is a prequel at the opening of one arterial road.
However, the police said the high-powered committee formed by the Haryana House Department was looking into it.
The panel will receive a return request for traffic on the border of Haryana-Delhi in Singhu and Tikri.
Delhi police are worried about the law and the situation of order at the border after the violence of the Republican Day this year and severe spread, apart from increasing security measures, has continued there for months.
Meanwhile, commenting on the recent steps to form a new unit in specific cells to handle Jihadi and Khalistani terror modules, Asthana said, “Delhi police must be prepared for the future.
We make changes in the current system to make it more efficient and effective.
It’s important to rearrange and strengthen special cells.
We have added new officers and new units for it.
