NEW DELHI, 24 April 2010: Reiterating that Delhi is safe and secure for the XIX Commonwealth Games 2010 Delhi, Delhi Police Commissioner Mr. Y. S. Dadwal has said that the security of the Commonwealth Games 2010 is a prime focus area for his team. In his message to the citizens of Delhi the Commissioner said, “Preparations for the Commonwealth Games-2010 have been initiated in right earnest well in advance. All issues pertaining to manpower requirement, infrastructural requirement, technological up-gradation, communications etc., have been addressed. Comprehensive security, law and order and traffic arrangements have been drafted which will cover IGIA, route and transportation, Games Village, hotels and other places of stay, competition, non-competition and practice venues and security of road events. Presentations regarding our Security and Traffic Plans were made to Heads of Commonwealth Missions on 9 September 2009, to the security experts from the participating Commonwealth Games Countries and Federations on 23 September 2009, to the Commonwealth Games Federation General Assembly 2009 on 12 October 09 and to the COCOM on 14 - 16 December 09. Satisfaction and confidence in the security arrangements has been expressed at all levels. These arrangements will be further fine-tuned.”
He assured Delhiites of his teams full preparedness for the Games, he said, “The Delhi Police worked out elaborate and holistic security measures to ensure not only the safe and secure conduct of the Games but also the security of the city. These measures were appreciated by the Commonwealth Games authorities.”
To further fine tune the security arrangement across the capital, the commissioner said that his proposal was cleared by the Government in quick time resulting in creation of 9 Sub-Divisions and 29 Police Stations in September, 2009 which included 7 police stations already being run from the existing resources. “These new Police Stations will go a long way in improving the policing of the National Capital and ensure a safer and more secure Delhi during the forthcoming Commonwealth Games,” he said.
Increased security efforts need more manpower for execution and in this regard Delhi Police has undertook a large-scale recruitment drive during the year to fill up existing as well as newly sanctioned vacancies so as to improve the manpower position substantially before the forthcoming Commonwealth Games. As a part of this drive, 387 Sub-Inspectors, 58 Head Constables, 4341 Constables and 215 Drivers were recruited during the year. As many as 6449 Constables are due to join training by 15 January.
The year also saw a significant thrust to the use of technology by the Delhi Police, keeping particularly the forthcoming Commonwealth Games in mind. The Central Police Control Room was expanded and upgraded.
The Delhi Police is also being provided, through the aegis of the Govt. of NCT of Delhi, a common secure communication network for the Commonwealth Games and beyond. An Integrated Command, Control, Coordination and Communication Centre (C4i) is also being established at the Police Headquarters to meet the operational requirements for the Commonwealth Games 2010 and beyond. This Centre will provide real time situation awareness from various parts of Delhi including Commonwealth Games venues, markets, Intelligent Traffic system etc. The C4i would have linkages with the ground level staff as well as the subsidiary bases on wireless sets, Tetra Nets, Mobile phones and landline phones. It will have hotline connections with various stake holders such as the Air Force, Central Para Military Forces, Delhi Fire Services, Hospitals and Ambulance Services etc. The Delhi Police is also in the process of acquiring three armoured vehicles, a Mobile Periscopic Van, sophisticated weapons etc. to bolster anti-terrorist capabilities.
