NEW DELHI: To ensure a secure and peaceful environment ahead of the upcoming elections, senior police officers, led by Madhup Tewari, Special Commissioner of Police, Law and Order, Zone II, conducted an extensive flag march and area domination exercise in Delhi’s South East and South districts. The exercise, which took place on Wednesday and Thursday, covered key areas including Jamia, Shaheen Bagh, Okhla Industrial Area, Ambedkar Nagar, Sangam Vihar, Malviya Nagar, and Tigri.

The initiative saw the participation of high-ranking officers such as S. K. Jain, Joint Commissioner of Police (Southern Range), Rajesh Deo, DCP (South East), and Ankit Chauhan, DCP (South District). These officers assessed security arrangements at sensitive polling premises and engaged with residents to address their concerns.

The flag march and area domination are part of our comprehensive strategy to prevent any untoward incidents and build trust among the residents.”
