Union Home Minister Amit Shah chaired a meeting at the Delhi Police Headquarters on Thursday to review the National Capital’s law and order situation and security arrangements ahead of Chhath Puja.
Lieutenant Governor TS Sandhu, Delhi Police Commissioner Anurag Kumar and other senior police officials attended the meeting, according to sources.
The discussions focused on security preparations and crowd management for Chhath Puja, which will continue until November 16.
Lakhs of devotees are expected to visit more than 1,400 ghats across Delhi during the celebrations.
Shah reviewed the Delhi Police’s arrangements to manage large gatherings and ensure adequate security at the venues.
The meeting assessed measures to maintain public safety throughout the festival.
The Home Minister had earlier chaired a security review meeting at the police headquarters on October 24.
During that meeting, officials briefed Shah on efforts to tackle drug trafficking, organised crime and traffic congestion. Initiatives to strengthen women’s safety were also reviewed.
Separately, Lieutenant Governor Sandhu visited Rajinder Nagar Police Station earlier this week to interact with personnel deployed during Diwali.
Sandhu appreciated the officers for maintaining public safety while spending the festival away from their families and extended festive greetings to them.
During his Diwali engagements, Sandhu visited specialised Pink Police Booths opposite IP College and in Kamla Nagar. He acknowledged the efforts of women police personnel in improving safety and accessibility in public spaces and around educational institutions.
The latest review comes as Delhi prepares for large-scale public gatherings during the Chhath Puja celebrations.
