Delhi police chief reviews security arrangements ahead of I-Day
New Delhi: Newly appointed Delhi Police Commissioner S B K Singh on Friday held a series of meetings with senior officers to assess the security arrangements in the national capital ahead of Independence Day, an official said. Singh, who took over as the 25th Commissioner of Delhi Police a day ago, held a meeting with senior officers to assess the preparedness for the upcoming Independence Day celebrations in the city. "The Commissioner emphasised the need for heightened vigilance, increased patrolling and enhanced surveillance measures in sensitive areas. Traffic management in and around the Red Fort was also discussed in the meeting," a senior police officer said, who requested anonymity. Further, a crime review meeting with Deputy Commissioners of Police (DCPs) of all 15 districts was also held to ensure foolproof law and order arrangements in the city. Singh directed all DCPs to intensify night patrolling and maintain additional vigil across Delhi, especially in areas bordering neighbouring states. He instructed that barricading and random checking should be strengthened at all entry points to the city to prevent the movement of suspicious elements and illegal arms. Singh directed that strict checking should be carried out at hotels, guest houses, bus terminals, railway stations, metro stations, malls and high-footfall markets. Another officer said that he also stressed the importance of deploying plainclothes personnel in crowded areas and keeping a close watch on activities that could potentially disturb public peace or threaten security. Coordination with other security agencies and intelligence-sharing were also discussed as critical components of the preparedness plan. The CP also reviewed the arrangements for the Independence Day function at the Red Fort and other venues where public gatherings are expected. Senior officers have been asked to personally supervise security drills and verify the deployment of Quick Reaction Teams, bomb disposal squads, and sniffer dog units. "Each DCP has been tasked with ensuring the readiness of their respective jurisdictions and to make a robust security plan," said the officer.

Special session on space success in House likely
NEW DELHI: A special discussion may be held during the ongoing Monsoon Session to celebrate the success of India's space mission to the International Space Station (ISS), which marked a historic milestone with the participation of Indian astronaut Captain Shubhanshu Shukla. According to an official, the proposal is being actively considered, and the debate may take place next week or after India's Independence Day on August 15, depending on the parliamentary schedule. It is likely to be held along the lines of the 16-hour debate in both Houses on the success of Operation Sindoor. When asked whether Capt. Shukla would be present in Parliament during the discussion, the official stated that his participation has not yet been confirmed, although it is also under consideration. India's involvement in the ISS mission comes as part of broader partnerships with global space agencies, including NASA and ESA, and follows sustained efforts by ISRO to strengthen the country's human spaceflight capabilities. The discussion will likely underscore the role of public-private partnerships in advancing space technology.

New Delhi Police chief orders daily foot patrols by senior officers

Singh (right) takes over as Delhi Police commissioner from Sanjay Arora at the police headquarters on Thursday (HT Photo) An officer familiar with the directive said the patrols will take place from 4.30pm to 6.30pm. 'The CP stressed that senior officers must also be seen on the ground, not just the lower ranks,' the officer said. Singh also instructed that two officials — including a woman officer — must be present at all times at the public facilitation desk in every police station. While the woman officer will attend to complaints related to women, the second official will handle cybercrime related grievances. In a bid to uphold the force's integrity, the commissioner asked assistant commissioners of police (ACPs) to keep a close watch on sub-inspectors in their jurisdictions. 'He flagged concerns over recent arrests of Delhi Police officials by the Central Bureau of Investigation on corruption charges and said ACPs must monitor investigating officers more closely, especially sub-inspectors,' said another officer present at the meeting. The commissioner further told DCPs to inspect police stations in their districts regularly, not sporadically, and to ensure proper upkeep of facilities. 'He emphasised that police stations must maintain basic infrastructure standards and that public facilitation desks should be clean, staffed and fully functional,' the officer added. Singh also reviewed the Independence Day security preparations and instructed DCPs to step up security checks in their respective areas.
