Outgoing Inspector General of Police (IGP) Benazir Ahmed directed police members to ensure impenetrable security to ensure a festive celebration of Durga Puja, reports UNB.

IGp said this while attending a meeting on security regarding Durga puja celebration on Monday at city’s Police Headquarters.

He said police have taken up a three tier security measure for pre Puja, during Puja celebrations and post Puja celebrations.

Puja Celebration Committees have been requested to install CCTV camera at puja mandaps, allow hand held metal detector and archway gates, arrange 24/7 volunteers, separate entrance and exit for men and women, ensure proper lighting at mandap and immersion spots, to keep standby generators and to not use loud noise during prayer call at mosques, he said.

People have been urged to call national emergency service number 999 for any emergency during puja celebrations.

IGP also requested community police members and beat police officers to coordinate with the concerned puja celebration committees to ensure security.

This year Durga Puja will be celebrated in 32,168 puja mandaps across the country.
