Increased police vigilance at religious events ordered

The Director General of Police (DGP) Prashant Kumar has ordered increased vigilance and intelligence gathering at religious events in the state. This directive aims to enhance security due to concerns that criminals may use these gatherings to evade law enforcement. Police are instructed to monitor suspicious individuals, especially those coming from outside districts or states. Local police and intelligence units must document attendees and maintain detailed records, including identity proofs. The DGP emphasized the importance of communication with event organizers to collect participant information. Monthly inspections of attendance registers by senior officers are required to identify any individuals with criminal backgrounds.
