After the terrorist attack in Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir, now the security agencies in Uttar Pradesh have become completely alert. UP DGP Prashant Kumar has directed the entire police department to remain on alert. He fears that some mischievous elements may try to spoil the atmosphere of UP under the guise of Pahalgam incident.
In view of this, vigilance has been increased in the entire Uttar Pradesh including the districts bordering the Nepal border. DGP Prashant Kumar has given strict instructions to make security arrangements. Additional contingents of police and PAC have been deployed especially in sensitive areas. Checking of trains on boundaries has been intensified.
Special eye on Nepal border and sensitive areas
The DGP has asked to keep a strict monitoring of border check posts in collaboration with SSB (Sashastra Seema Bal) in especially in the districts adjacent to Nepal – Maharajganj, Shravasti, Siddharthnagar, Kheri, Pilibhit, Bahraich and Balrampur. Sensitive places and identified hotspots will also be monitored with drones. Also, there are orders to strictly stop mischiefs such as pasting any objectionable material at religious places.
Return of Pakistani citizens almost complete
Meanwhile, on the instructions of the Government of India, the process of sending almost all Pakistani citizens living in UP back to their country has been completed. According to the information, now only one Pakistani citizen is left in UP, which will be sent back by April 2025.
Special vigilance in districts like Sambhal and Gonda
Following the DGP’s order, the GRP (Railway Police) and RPF (Railway Protection Force) are also on alert mode in Sambhal district. The vigil has been increased at Chandausi, the main railway station of Sambhal. Here the GRP and RPF together conducted a search operation, questioned the suspected passengers, checked their goods and ID cards. The station is also being closely monitored from the CCTV control room. It is worth noting that Sambhal’s name has been in the news due to terrorist connection and recent controversies (Jama Masjid Survey), due to which the district is on the radar of intelligence agencies. Last week, the ATS detained 2 youths from here.
Similarly, a big checking operation was carried out at the railway station late night in Gonda. GRP, RPF, Dog Squad and Anti Crime Teams jointly searched the platform, waiting room, ticket hall and circulating area. The commodity trains and passengers’ belongings were also closely examined. Passengers were also appealed to be cautious and immediately inform the police if any suspicious thing or person appears.
Monitoring from toll plaza to social media
Checking has also been intensified at the toll plaza of the National Highway and the districts bordering the states. Police verification of those staying and new tenants in hotels, dharamshalas, guest houses has been made mandatory. Radical and anti -social elements are also being monitored.
Social media is also being closely monitored. Strict action will be taken against those who put any inflammatory or hate posts. Apart from this, instructions have also been given to ensure the safety of Kashmiri students, tourists and traders living in the state, so that there is no untoward incident with them.
