Hundreds of police personnel to be deployed at ‘hot spots’
Ahead of the 75th Independence Day celebrations, the Hyderabad city police have intensified security arrangements in the city. Hundreds of police personnel, including senior IPS officers, would be deployed in various 'hot spots’, including historic Golconda Fort where Chief Minister K. Chandrasekhar Rao will hoist the tricolour. The police officials did not reveal the detailed security arrangements for the I-Day. The recent arrest of two alleged Lashkar-e-Taiba terrorists by the National Investigation Agency from the city in connection with Bihar's Darbhanga blast case is said to be one of the key reasons. “We don’t have any specific intel, but everything is part of routine security arrangements for I-Day celebrations,” a senior police officer said.
