Police will look at the crowd control arrangements before giving permission for fairs and other events
Dehradun. After the stampede during the satsang in Hathras, UP, Uttarakhand Police Headquarters has also given instructions to take extra security measures. ADG Law and Order AP Anshuman has told all the district in-charges that crowd control arrangements should be seen before giving permission for fairs and other events.
If there are not enough arrangements there, then do not give NOC. Along with this, he has asked every district to make an SOP and make it available to the headquarters. After this, the Police Headquarters will prepare a detailed SOP after studying these SOPs.
These instructions were given
- The programs to be organized should be taken sensitively in view of crowd management, the station in-charge will personally inspect the place before giving NOC for the event.
