Amid ensuring security arrangements in Delhi ahead of the G20 Summit on Sep 9-10, the Delhi Police has come up with a new initiative. It has deployed a mobile police station in the national capital so that people who want to file a complaint or lodge an FIR may find it easier to do so.
The mobile police station has facilities such as CCTV cameras, computers, internet, walkie-talkie. It also has a public display system that will flash important messages amid the ongoing G20 summit.
According to the officials, more than 40,000 Delhi Police officers are on Summit duty till September 10. To ensure better security, police personnel have been asked to stay in station barracks or near the police stations till Sep 11 so that they can be called when the need arises.
Police personnel are working in double shifts to ensure the safety of people in the national capital amid G20 Summit, said Delhi Police PRO Suman Nalwa.
