Amit Shah reviews Delhi security at police headquarters

The Union Home Minister met with senior officials to discuss policing and crowd management ahead of Chhath Puja festivities.

Union Home Minister Amit Shah visited the Delhi Police headquarters on Thursday to assess the law and order situation and security readiness in the national capital, according to The Shillong Times and PTI.

Shah arrived at the Jai Singh Road facility at approximately 3.15 pm to meet with senior officers, including Police Commissioner Anurag Kumar and Lieutenant Governor T.S. Sandhu.

The meeting focused on crowd management strategies for the upcoming Chhath Puja festivities, which involve lakhs of devotees across more than 1,400 ghats and continue until November 16.

This visit follows a security review held on October 24, where discussions included drug trafficking, organised crime, traffic congestion, and measures for women's safety.

Earlier this week, Lieutenant Governor Sandhu visited the Rajinder Nagar Police Station and specialised Pink Booths in Kamla Nagar and near IP College to interact with personnel.

Sandhu commended the dedication of the women police personnel for their round-the-clock vigilance in making academic hubs and public spaces safer for women.
