Delhi Police Deploys 3,000 Officers for India International Trade Fair Security
Over 3,000 police officers and 1,500 CCTV cameras will ensure safety at the India International Trade Fair in New Delhi from November 14 to 27.
New Delhi, November 15 (Daily Kiran) : The Delhi Police has implemented extensive security measures for the India International Trade Fair (IITF), taking place at the Bharat Mandapam from November 14 to 27. Approximately 3,000 police officers will be stationed throughout the venue to ensure the safety and convenience of attendees. Additionally, 1,500 CCTV cameras will monitor the fairgrounds.
DCP Manjeet Shyoran stated that this annual event attracts large crowds from various regions of the country. The security arrangements have been designed based on experiences from previous years. Police have assessed areas likely to see high foot traffic, identifying which gates may experience congestion and potential traffic and parking challenges.
To enhance security, the fairgrounds have been divided into sectors, each with designated police personnel. Coordination has also been established with the CISF and private security guards already in place at the ITPO. This collaborative approach aims to effectively manage security and provide a safe environment for visitors.
Shyoran noted that additional police forces will be deployed in areas where crowd gatherings are anticipated. Modern technology, including facial recognition systems, will be utilized to strengthen security. Cameras are installed throughout the entire venue, including all halls and entrances, allowing police to monitor large areas with fewer resources.
Currently, attendance during business days is relatively low, but law enforcement is fully prepared for the anticipated influx of visitors once public entry begins. Authorities are continuously monitoring the situation to make immediate adjustments if necessary.
Shyoran urged attendees to download the official ITPO app, which provides information on entry and exit points. Having this information in advance will help visitors navigate the venue more easily and avoid unnecessary wandering.
For senior citizens and individuals with mobility issues, e-rickshaws and tempo travelers will be available to assist in reaching metro stations, gates, and various halls within the complex.
