Policing strengthened in Darjeeling in view of tourist rush

With tourists flocking to the Queen of Hill stations during the pujas, police patrolling has been intensified in and around the town.
Darjeeling superintendent of police Amit Javalgi said besides intensifying patrolling, 20 cctv cameras have been installed in important locations.
An interactive session was also held with hoteliers to stress the need for maintaining its tourist-friendly reputation, he said.
A control room will work 24 hours for monitoring the situation, he said.
The SP said although maintenance of roads came under the purview of the municipality, he would pursue the matter with the concerned authorities.
The police was also looking into the problem of traffic snarls, he said. PTI COR
