Red Fort blast: From law and order and crime to intelligence units, how Mumbai police are stepping up security

An officer said that all units of the Mumbai police — from law and order and crime to intelligence — will be involved in conducting the review.

“At any given point in time, there are certain measures in place, like keeping an eye on those on the police radar, like anti-social elements, to ensure the local police carry out regular checks. In the security review, we check whether all measures that have been put in place are operational and inform our superiors,” the official added.

An inspector posted at a city police station said that after the Delhi blast, which killed at least 13 people and injured several others, they received instructions to carry out security checks at major junctions and checkpoints, as well as frisking.

“The Anti-Terror Cells of local police stations have been asked to check on the whereabouts of those who have been on their radar to ensure they are not involved in anything unusual,” the officer said.

Another officer said even the Mumbai traffic police have been asked to keep an eye out for vehicles carrying heavy luggage or parked cars that have not been moved in a while.

Indian Railways officials were also seen on trains with sniffer dogs to monitor any suspicious activity. The Railway staff carried out random luggage checks inside local and outstation trains in the city.

A senior officer stated that, given the festive season has just ended and year-end is approaching, they have already been on high alert.
