With an increase in tourism, the Andaman & Nicobar Islands police are taking proactive measures to ensure visitor safety. Recent initiatives include enhanced patrolling in popular tourist spots, 24/7 helplines for travelers, and collaborations with local businesses to create a safer environment. To tackle crimes like theft and harassment, officers are stationed at key attractions, and strict monitoring of unauthorized tour operators is in place.
In addition to crime prevention, authorities are focusing on emergency preparedness, particularly for natural disasters. With the islands prone to cyclones and tsunamis, disaster response drills and awareness campaigns are being conducted in hotels, resorts, and tourist hubs. By equipping visitors with emergency contact details and guidance on safe zones, the authorities are ensuring that tourists enjoy their stay without security concerns.
