Wednesday, September 07, 2011: Elaborate security arrangements are in
place for Kerala Tourism’s week-long Onam celebrations that commences
in 26 venues in the capital and suburbs on Wednesday.
Every nook and corner of the city where festival action takes place
will be under the watchful eyes of a closely-knit mesh of surveillance
cameras, the pick of the season being a network of innovative moving
cameras.
The City Police have decided to install as many as 40 moving cameras
at festival centres. They will be set up at the entrances and narrow
lanes near festival centres, where there would be a heavy crowd and
little police surveillance. The cameras will be controlled from the
special control room that will function inside the Kanakakkunnu Palace
premises.
Besides the 40 moving cameras, the City Police will install 160
security surveillance cameras, all of them controlled from the special
control room, at different parts of the city.
A total of 1,300 police personnel, including 1,200 uniformed officers
and 100 plainclothesmen, will be present. They will also include 135
women officers who will be deployed across the city as part of ensuring
law and order. They will work round the clock under the orders of
different Assistant Commissioners of Police.
