Gurugram Police beef up security for I-Day

The Gurugram Police on Tuesday have begun preparations and have stepped up security measures for the Independence Day celebrations.

On account of security, the Gurugram Police have begun searching the list of all new guests that are coming in various hotels, guesthouses and paying guest accomodations.

However, it is a joint effort and there is a requirement of citizens also to participate with the police in fighting the terror," said a senior police official from Gurugram police.
