With barricading put up on various roads leading to the Vidhan Sabha, the police have completed necessary arrangements for security to be maintained during the winter session of the Assembly starting today. On Sunday, along with inspector general (Law and Order) AP Anshuman, the Dehradun senior superintendent of police Yogendra Singh Rawat briefed the police personnel regarding the security arrangements. All the police officers and personnel were directed to reach their posts two hour before the fixed time. They were also directed to behave in a controlled manner, refrain from making any unnecessary comments and immediately inform their officer in-charge in case of any problem. He directed that hotels, water tanks and mobile phone towers near the Vidhan Sabha should be inspected properly. Those posted on route duty outside the Vidhan Sabha should ensure that no vehicle stands on the road between the Vidhan Sabha trijunction and the Defence Colony barrier. On the barriers put up near the Rispana bridge and other locations, all personnel will wear helmets and body protectors. Those on barrier duty should ensure that during any protest or rally, no disruptive element should cross the barrier to come near the Vidhan Sabha. The SSP further directed that videography and photography should also be ensured in case of any incident. All personnel should observe vigilance as per the Covid guidelines, he said, while adding that strict action will be taken against anyone found negligent or misbehaving while on duty.
