Delhi Police Engages Citizens for Republic Day Security
The Delhi Police recently held a big meeting with many people from different groups, like those who run hotels, sell SIM cards, and own cars.
They did this to prepare for Republic Day, which is an important national event.
The police asked everyone to help keep the city safe by being alert and reporting anything suspicious.
They gave specific advice to each group, like installing cameras and checking the identities of people.
This way, the police and the community can work together to make sure everything goes smoothly during the celebrations.
Delhi Police conducted a citywide outreach programme under the Eyes and Ears Scheme ahead of Republic Day.
The initiative involved various community stakeholders, including RWAs, MWAs, hotel owners, car dealers, and vendors.
