Security officials said that there is a risk of additional criminal incidents during the festive season, as prisoners fleeing from different prisons during the Gen-Z protests may return to their homes and the looted arms and ammunition might be misused.
SSP Khanal informed that a planned police deployment, monitoring, and control are necessary to prevent any untoward incidents, and security plans have been made and implemented for that purpose.
He said that 53 mobile patrols, 112 motorcycle patrols, 92 quick response teams (rapid response teams) have been deployed along with 178 on-foot patrols. Additionally, 20 long and short-distance patrols have also been deployed.
To further strengthen security arrangements, police pickets have been kept at 130 locations, while regular, special, and emergency checks are being conducted at 92 locations. SSP Khanal added that a joint check involving traffic has been conducted at 75 locations.
