Panaji:With the state simultaneously hosting two high-profile events — the Exposition and Iffi — Goa police have deployed a force of over 1,300 personnel per day to ensure the safety and security of the visitors.

While 1,000 police personnel will help keep the Old Goa complex safe 300 will be on duty in Panaji for Iffi said North Goa police superintendent Akshat Kaushal.

Aside from metal detectors, sand bunkers and armed police, quick-reaction teams of the ATS commandos have been stationed at strategic locations to keep threats at bay.

“Keeping in mind all the security concerns we have set up an elaborate arrangement,” Kaushal said.

The 1,000 police personnel deployed at Old Goa will be on duty for three shifts with sub-inspectors inspectors and DySPs on hand. Goa police have erected several watchtowers, created sand bunkers and installed 400 CCTV cameras which will be monitored from a central control room

Watchtowers allow police to keep a watch on people using binoculars. Drones will also be used. A dedicated drone will oversee the security arrangements.

“Arrangements are in place at all venues and elaborate security is focused on inaugural and closing ceremonies,” Kaushal said.
