Kerala Police directed to tighten CM’s security at public events, deploy plainclothes personnel
Intelligence wing flags security risks posed by uncontrolled crowds, including mediapersons, who approach Chief Minister
The Kerala Police Intelligence wing has instructed District Police Chiefs to enhance security measures for Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan at public events and during his travels. This directive follows concerns over uncontrolled crowds, including journalists, who approach the Chief Minister and make physical contact, potentially leading to security lapses.
The alert, issued on September 26, advises the deployment of both uniformed and plainclothes officers at venues attended by the Chief Minister and along his travel routes to prevent any untoward incidents. The order emphasizes the need for adequate police presence to ensure the Chief Minister's complete security, especially given his classification as the highest security category in the State.
Recent incidents highlight the ongoing challenges, such as journalists being prevented from approaching the Chief Minister at functions and complaints about disruptions caused by large crowds during his appearances.
