Uttarakhand Police Conducts Security Rehearsal for PM Modi's Dehradun Visit

During the rehearsal, all aspects related to the programme--including protocols, security arrangements, traffic management, and crowd control--were thoroughly reviewed and tested, a release said.

Following the rehearsal, the Director General of Police, Uttarakhand, Deepam Seth held a detailed review and briefing with all gazetted police officers deployed on duty at the Police Lines, Dehradun, to finalize the security arrangements. He directed that all arrangements be ensured in a timely, coordinated, and error-free manner.

The DGP instructed all officers to adopt a highly alert, vigilant, and sensitive approach in line with the current security scenario. He emphasized that all personnel deployed on duty must maintain a high standard of turnout and be thoroughly briefed in advance regarding their responsibilities.

At the venue, entry points designated for the general public will be equipped with Hand-Held Metal Detectors (HHMD) and Door Frame Metal Detectors (DFMD), and every individual will be thoroughly checked before being allowed to take their seats at designated locations. "No unauthorized items will be permitted inside the venue. Adequate arrangements must also be made in advance for the safe and orderly dispersal of the crowd after the programme. For security reasons, the operation of drones will be completely prohibited in and around the venue," the release said.

The DGP directed all officers to ensure that no laxity is shown during duty and to discharge their responsibilities with complete vigilance and dedication.
