DGP Arvind Kumar has specifically directed officers in Ghaziabad, Noida and Greater Noida to keep special vigil in the National Capital Region and to erect barriers and frisk vehicles in the border areas to check passage of money, liquor, weapons or suspected people.

Income Tax teams and those of the Election Commission (EC) are also coordinating with law enforcement agencies on this matter.
