Punjab’s Director General of Police Suresh Arora inspected security arrangements in Amritsar on Saturday, ahead of 34th anniversary of Operation Blue Star to be observed at Akal Takht on June 6.

The DGP held a meeting with Inspector General (border range) Surinderpal Singh Parmar, senior superintendent of police (SSPs) of Amritsar rural, Tarn Taran, Gurdaspur, Batala and Pathankot to discuss security plans.

Talking to the media, Arora said, “Police will ensure there is no untoward incident during the anniversary. We will ensure deployment of required police and paramilitary forces. We have already increased security at sensitive points.”
