The police department has charted out elaborate security and traffic measures in connection with the customary parade and other events for the 78th Independence Day celebrations scheduled at Gandhi Thidal, Beach Road, Puducherry on Thursday.
Police teams comprising 516 personnel have been formed for the event with the Senior Superintendents of Police mandated to oversee law and order, traffic and security arrangements.
Shalini Singh, Director General of Police, convened a meeting with officers to review the arrangements in Puducherry, Karaikal, Mahe and Yanam.
In Puducherry, traffic diversion has been introduced on certain stretches and designated parking arrangements are in place in the vicinity of the venue of the celebrations.
