NARAYANGADH (CHITWAN), Oct 15:
The District Police Office has stepped up security measures across major thoroughfares, bus parks, and inner areas of the district. Security checks have been intensified with the objective of controlling the trafficking of narcotics, explosives, and illegal goods, as well as minimizing potential crimes during the festive season.
Vehicle inspections have been tightened at the Central Bus Park, Gondrang area, and other locations handling incoming and local transportation. To prevent road accidents, police have increased surveillance on drivers operating vehicles under the influence of alcohol (drunk driving) and drugs, as well as those driving at excessive speeds.
District Police Office Chief, Superintendent of Police Rameshwor Poudel, stated that checking has been implemented to curb the transit of materials such as firecrackers, which could potentially be used as explosives or drugs.
Sharing that a trained canine (K-9) team has been deployed for the checks, he said, “We are working with the goal that our canine team can control the inflow of explosives and narcotics, discourage criminal activities, and ensure that general citizens feel safe.”
District Traffic Police Chief Anil Thapa noted that integrated checks are underway to control speeding, as drivers often rush to reach their destinations quickly during the festive season. He informed that surveillance has been increased on long and short-distance public vehicles regarding overcharging passengers, transporting suspicious items, exhibiting unruly behavior, and driving under the influence of alcohol.
According to him, technology is being deployed to crack down on speed violators. Random snap-checks are being carried out at high-footfall locations and various district entry points, including the Central Bus Park, Pokhara Bus Park, and Pulchowk. Police stated that drivers and co-drivers have been sensitized, and passengers have been made aware of safety measures to ensure passenger protection, minimize traffic accidents, and curb criminal activities during the festive period.
