In anticipation of the upcoming Diwali festival, Ramban district police, in collaboration with the SOG and CRPF, conducted extensive joint foot patrols across the markets of Ramban and Chanderkote. The initiative aimed to enhance security measures, increase police visibility, and ensure a peaceful festive period for residents and visitors.
According to details received by The Chenab Times, the coordinated patrols involved police personnel of all ranks, alongside members of the SOG and CRPF. This heightened presence is intended to strengthen the overall security grid, maintain vigilance in crowded market areas, and prevent any untoward incidents during the festive season.
The exercise saw senior police officials, including SSP Ramban Anna Lata Sinha, Addl SP Ramban, DySP DAR, DySP Headquarters, SHO Ramban, and SHO Chanderkote, actively monitoring the market areas. They also engaged with local shopkeepers and members of the public to assess the security environment and address any concerns. A particular focus was placed on maintaining public order and ensuring the smooth flow of people navigating the increased activity associated with Diwali shopping and celebrations.
During the patrols, officials reviewed the prevailing security arrangements and emphasized the importance of proactive policing. The objective is to create a safe and secure atmosphere, allowing the public to celebrate the festival of lights without apprehension. The police sought to reassure the community of their commitment to their safety and security during this important time.
The Ramban Police have issued an appeal to the general public, urging them to celebrate Diwali peacefully and responsibly. Residents have been advised to remain vigilant and cooperative with security personnel. The police also requested the public to report any suspicious activities or individuals immediately to the nearest police station or to dial the emergency number 112.
This proactive approach by the Ramban Police underscores their dedication to maintaining law and order and ensuring a safe Diwali celebration for everyone in the district. The joint patrols are a standard procedure undertaken by security forces in the region during significant festivals to preemptively manage security challenges and reinforce public confidence.
