A huge posse of policemen, over a thousand CCTV cameras, an equal number of motorcycles and 500 other vehicles have been deployed in Ahmedabad to maintain law and order during New Year festivities, a senior official said Sunday.
Elaborate arrangements had been put in place to ensure that people do not consume alcohol (Gujarat is a dry state) or drugs, an official said.
Speaking about the arrangements, Joint Commissioner of Police (Crime) J K Bhatt said, "A total of 1,006 CCTV cameras, including both of the civic body and police, will keep an eye on the city. Recently, we placed 226 CCTV cameras at 84 points."
