In another news from Delhi, the Delhi Police has introduced a new security plan to tackle the city’s rising crime rates. To improve passenger safety on the Delhi Metro, plainclothes officers will be stationed at certain metro stations during busy hours.
After reviewing around 190 metro stations, police identified 32 as more prone to crimes like theft and harassment. Some of these stations include Kashmiri Gate, Rajiv Chowk, Seelampur, Anand Vihar, and Kalkaji.
According to the police, officers in plain clothes will be able to blend into the crowd and respond quickly to any incidents. "This approach helps prevent crime and ensures a quicker response when needed," said Joint Commissioner of Police (transport range) Vijay Singh.
