Security tightened in Delhi

1. Following the international-level G20 conference organized in Delhi a few months ago, similar tight security measures have been implemented for the swearing-in ceremony. Senior officers of Delhi Police have reviewed the security arrangements.
2. Section 144 has been enforced in the city to maintain strict security. The flying of drones has been banned in the city until June 10th.
3. Delhi has been declared a ‘no-fly zone’ on the day of the swearing-in ceremony, i.e. on June 9th. Therefore, no planes, helicopters, etc, will be able to fly over this area on this day.
4. Security has been reinforced with the deployment of Delhi Police, the President’s Security Guard, the Intelligence Department Squad, Black Cat Commandos of the Security Forces and NDRF teams.
