NEW DELHI: With Independence Day<\/a> celebrations just days away, Delhi Police has intensified security across the national capital, deploying additional personnel, setting up checkpoints and pickets, and increasing patrolling, vehicle checks and drone surveillance to prevent any untoward incident on August 15.Police personnel across districts have been deployed on the streets, with heightened focus on suspicious persons and vehicles, criminal elements and sensitive locations. Additional pickets and checkpoints have also been established at several places.Delhi Police DCP South Anant Mittal said officers of all ranks were on the ground as part of the heightened security arrangements.Pickets have been established at various locations in South Delhi, where police are checking suspicious individuals and vehicles.“Officers of all ranks are out on the ground patrolling, given the heightened sensitivity surrounding August 15th,” Mittal said, adding that the checking operation was being carried out with a strong focus on security ahead of Independence Day.Joint Commissioner of Police, Southern Range, Vijay Kumar said more than 1,600 police personnel, including women personnel, have been deployed in the southern zone. Around 60 pickets, including border, major and minor pickets, have been set up in the area.He said integrated checking was being carried out at major pickets, with traffic police working alongside PCR and local police personnel. Four-wheelers and two-wheelers are being checked, along with parking areas.“The main focus is on the criminal elements, the bad characters. We do check them; we check abundant vehicles and parking areas,” Kumar added.The security arrangements also include intensified patrolling and inspections by senior police officers. Joint Commissioner of Police Madhur Verma said Station House Officers and senior officers would patrol their respective areas and conduct inspections, while picket checks had been intensified.“Comprehensive security arrangements have been put in place. We have a multi-layered security system,” Verma said.In East Delhi, DCP Rajeev Kumar said all officers and personnel were on the streets as part of the Independence Day security preparations.Intensive checking is being carried out, and action is being taken against anti-social elements, he said.Police are also using drones for surveillance, particularly to maintain an aerial watch over areas where large gatherings or increased movement are expected.The intensified security comes as Delhi prepares for Independence Day celebrations, when several parts of the capital witness increased movement of people, vehicles and security personnel.Police have consequently increased ground-level surveillance and checking to detect suspicious activity at an early stage.The multi-layered arrangements involve local police, traffic personnel and other security teams working together at checkpoints and sensitive locations.Border areas and major entry and exit points are also being closely monitored as part of the security exercise.With August 15 approaching, Delhi Police officials said the focus would remain on preventive security, regular patrolling and quick action against any suspicious activity to ensure peaceful Independence Day celebrations across the capital.
