Metro Security Increased

AAP Protest in Delhi highlights: The Delhi Police has increased security along the roads leading to the PM's residence. Gates of multiple Delhi Metro stations like Patel Chowk, Central Secretariat were closed for security reasons, officials said.

The government has accorded its final sanction for the deployment of an additional 5,000 CISF personnel to better guard the increasing network and burgeoning passenger load on the Delhi Metro network, officials said today.

The Central Industrial Security Force or CISF will soon get over 6,600 additional personnel to bolster its strength for its two major tasks of guarding the Delhi Metro and VIPs, officials said today.

Delhi Metro commuters will henceforth not be allowed to cover their faces using surgical masks or mufflers even as the security-hold area at close to two dozen stations has been expanded in view of the new security drills being deployed to more effectively guard the rapid rail network.

Government is mulling to enhance the CISF manpower by over 2,100 personnel keeping in view the increasing load of passengers and consequently emerging security challenges in the Delhi Metro network running across the national capital region.

Security has been increased at the Indira Gandhi International Airport (IGIA) and on the Delhi Metro in view of possible threats in the run-up to Independence Day later this week.

Security agencies have decided to bring Delhi metro stations under increased surveillance cover and share intelligence in case of any untoward activity to the facilities in the wake of recent incidents of firing and people organising protests on rail tracks.

To ensure safety of women on Delhi Metro, Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) has decided to increase the number of its women personnel to 25 per cent of its total deployment.
