With the national Capital being one of the hosts for the Federation Internationale De Football Association (FIFA) Under-17 Football World Cup, the Delhi Police have made elaborate security arrangements to make sure that the championship goes incident-free. The threat of terror always looms large over the national Capital, especially during such event.
Also, reportedly, the intelligence agencies have alerted the police establishments about the possible terror threats.
"The banned terror organisations use such incidents to come into the limelight," a senior police officer said. He added that to make the event incident-free, they have deployed maximum number of security personnel.
Nearly 1,998 police officers will be guarding the Jawahar Lal Nehru Stadium located in south Delhi, which is the venue for the matches to be played. The matches will be held on four days — October 6, 9, 12, and 16. Six Deputy Commissioners of Police (DCP), 14 Assistant Commissioners of Police (ACP), 68 Inspectors, 171 Sub-Inspectors, 288, Head Constables, 668 Constables, and 183 woman constables will be guarding the stadium during the match days. Also, on days that there are no matches, 345 officers will make sure that the stadium is not visited by anyone.
Even though India has been a host country for other events such as the Commonwealth games and Asian Games, it is for the first time that we will be hosting the FIFA Under-17 World Cup. The event will be held in six cities in the country. Besides the local police, officers who have been a part of arrangements during the CWG 2010 have also been asked to be a part of the security arrangements.
Additional Deputy Commissioners of Police Vijayanta Arya, Anyesh Roy, Mohammad Ali, RP Meena, AK Lall, and Varsha Sharma have been deployed as well. Besides, nearly 891 police officers from other districts have also been deployed.
