NEW DELHI: In light of the recent terror attack near Red Fort, Delhi Lieutenant Governor (L-G) V.K. Saxena has directed Police Commissioner Satish Golcha and Chief Secretary Rajeev Verma to take proactive and precautionary measures aimed at ensuring safety and security in the Capital, an official said on Friday.
In a letter addressed to the top officials, L-G Saxena sought action taken within three weeks on suggestions like better licensing and regulation of storage of Ammonium Nitrate – a chemical used by the terrorist in the attack, use of drones and sale-purchase of used vehicles.
“The horrific Delhi terror incident of November 10 has brought certain security dimensions into sharp focus. These have a direct bearing on public order and need to be addressed on priority, ” said the letter written by the Principal Secretary to the L-G.
Apart from emphasising the regulation of the used car market and the use of drones, the L-G also suggested stricter background checks of doctors and health professionals hired by hospitals and nursing homes.
