In
preparation for President Putin's visit to India, various security agencies
have been placed on high alert, with officials establishing a comprehensive
security framework covering his route and engagements in the capital, according
to official sources on Tuesday. While the detailed schedule for the Russian
president's visit is confirmed, specifics regarding his accommodations and
exact location remain undisclosed due to strict security protocols.
According
to police sources, all agencies involved in the security setup have been
directed to ensure continuous monitoring throughout this high-profile visit.
"From
the moment he arrives until he departs, every movement will be observed by
multiple security agencies. We are coordinating real-time details of every
movement minute by minute," a source stated.
A source
indicated that senior officials of the Delhi Police will manage the security
arrangements, including traffic control and ensuring safety in areas that the
Russian president will visit during his time in the city.
"As
per the established route plan, all designated locations along the movement
path will be secured and thoroughly checked in advance. Notifications will also
be released regarding restrictions to lessen the inconvenience for
commuters," the source mentioned.
According
to insiders, over 50 members from Russia's advance security and protocol teams
will arrive in the capital shortly to carry out comprehensive evaluations of
the proposed routes, possible stopovers, visit sites, and the overall security
framework.
"Throughout
the two-day period, Delhi will implement a multi-layered security approach
involving the Delhi Police, central agencies, and Putin's personal security
squad. Specialized units, including SWAT, anti-terror squads, and quick
response teams, will be deployed at various key locations across the city.
Additionally, drone surveillance, CCTV monitoring, and technical intelligence
systems will be used to maintain real-time situational awareness," the
source stated.
A police
officer, who requested to remain anonymous, noted that no detail is being
overlooked. Traffic reroutes, restricted zones, and limitations on pedestrian
access are anticipated in key areas; however, officials assured that prior
announcements will be made to minimize disruptions.
