Delhi Police on High Alert to Maintain Peace in Communally Sensitive Areas

In the wake of recent developments and potential communal tensions, the Delhi Police's special branch has issued a crucial advisory to all police stations. This directive aims to ensure peace and security, particularly in areas deemed "communally sensitive" within the Capital. Here's a breakdown of the advisory and its significance:

Strategic Vigilance and Monitoring

The advisory underscores the importance of vigilance and monitoring, especially concerning individuals associated with significant protests such as the anti-CAA/NRC demonstrations and the 2020 Delhi riots. Police stations are instructed to remain alert and take preemptive measures to forestall any communal incidents.

Preventive Measures

To mitigate the risk of communal discord, the advisory recommends proactive steps in light of recent events like the Ayodhya Ram Temple consecration and the Gyanvapi prayer order. It warns of potential efforts by certain elements to disrupt peace and calls for the creation of a watch list comprising individuals likely to incite trouble.

Community Surveillance

Police officers are tasked with compiling lists of individuals involved in past protests and related activities. These lists, which include members of known groups, serve to track the movements and actions of potentially disruptive elements. Updates to existing lists are mandated, emphasizing the ongoing need for vigilance.

Identifying Potential Troublemakers

Specific districts, such as the north-east district, are cited as examples where troublemakers are closely monitored. Lists are expanded to encompass participants in previous riots and protests, ensuring comprehensive surveillance in areas prone to communal tensions.

Mitigating Threats to Religious Places

The advisory highlights the risk of miscreants exploiting religious sentiments for personal gain, especially with elections on the horizon. It calls for heightened security measures at mosques and other religious sites, particularly during sensitive periods like Friday prayers.

Operational Preparedness

Station house officers are directed to brief their teams on the importance of vigilance and the identification of potential troublemakers. Enhanced security measures, including the deployment of personnel, use of drones for surveillance, and thorough documentation of demonstrations, are emphasized to maintain order.
