Cops, LMC squads deployed for peaceful Bakrid festivity

Lucknow: With Bakrid on Saturday, Lucknow Police has put in place extensive security measures to ensure a peaceful festival. The key focus this year will be on preventing the sacrifice of banned animals and maintaining communal amity. Joint commissioner of police (law & order) Babloo Kumar said that strict directives were issued against the slaughter of prohibited animals. "Teams from the Lucknow Municipal Corporation have been deployed, particularly in sensitive localities, to monitor and enforce the ban," he said. Local volunteers have also been roped in to assist with the festival arrangements. To bolster community coordination, peace committees were formed at every police station. "DCP-level meetings were conducted with committee members to address concerns and build mutual trust. We're working in close coordination with local leaders to uphold peace," Kumar added. Highlighting the magnitude of security deployment, the JCP said that 14 companies of the Provincial Armed Constabulary (PAC), one unit of the Rapid Action Force (RAF), and a large number of civil police personnel have been stationed across the city. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo High-security zones such as Aishbagh Eidgah, Teelawaal Mosque, and Bada Imambara will be under intense surveillance, supported by barricading and continuous patrolling.
