With the Diwali festival approaching, Puducherry Police have taken steps to bolster security and ensure public safety. Increased surveillance will be implemented using drones and CCTV cameras throughout the city. The local police force will also deploy additional officers at key locations, particularly in crowded areas like markets, shopping complexes, and religious sites, to manage crowds and prevent any potential security threats.
In addition to the heightened security presence, night patrols will be intensified to ensure that areas remain safe after dark, when celebrations often reach their peak. The measures aim to reduce the risk of accidents, thefts, or other criminal activities that are more likely to occur during large gatherings. Residents and visitors have been urged to stay alert and report any suspicious activities to the authorities.
