In the wake a series of racial attacks in Australia, a group of private detectives from the national capital are now going Down Under to suggest security measures for Indians there.
Following a meeting with officials of the Australian High Commission, which was also attended by Australian private detective agencies, it was decided to send a team to allay fears of Indians.
"We were called by the Australia High Commission here to talk about different security measures to be provided to the Indian community in Australia.
Representatives from private security agencies in Australia also attended the meet," President of Central Association of Private Security Industry, Kunwar Vikram Singh, said.
During the meet, the participants agreed that there was a strong feeling of fear among the Indians, who are working or studying there and decided to form a mechanism to provide security to them, he said.
"A three-member special team will be going to Australia to analyse the security situation there. The team will also be meeting administrative authorities, representatives of Indian communities and family members of the victims of racial attacks," Singh said.
Singh said Indian community members in Australia have also asked them for help following the racial attacks. A total of 16 students were attacked there during the past one month.
"Our main aim is to work to create safe security environment for Indian students and professionals in Australia. A number of parents, professionals and community members have also contacted us seeking private security for them," he said.
He added, "We have chalked out a number of plans for the Indians living there. We will, with the help of Australian security agencies, form quick response teams to help people in need," Singh added.
According to Singh, private security agencies in Australia are flooded with requests from Indian community members seeking security.
