It is that time of the year when the Delhi Police is on its toes keep a tight vigil on the security arrangements in the Capital. With Independence Day just a month away, and Kanwars already descending in the city, considering it is the Shravan season, security seems to be a big challenge for the city police. In the last few days, the police has become visibly active on the streets as threats of terror attacks looms over the national capital. But the biggest task for the police remains to deal with the local crime, terror inputs and Kanwars, with a force of around 86,000 police personnel. A majority of them are being deployed at strategic VIP locations, and for personal security purposes.

However, if these security arrangements are well in place throughout the year, it would have been a cakewalk for the police to deal with multiple issues at the same time. Apart from cracking down on unregistered guest houses, they also need to keep a watchful eye on anti-social elements who sneak into the city, to create trouble, ahead of August 15. Even if the police internal systems have some glitches like non-functional CCTVs, they still have time to rectify these anomalies. The onus of ensuring an uneventful Independence Day, and the safety of the leaders and common man lies on the shoulders of security agencies.
