AHMEDABAD: Security for Amdavadis seems to be entering a new phase. More than 400 paramilitary jawans are being posted in different buildings, public places and institutions. And, the city police has been promised better fire power.

The city police commissionerate is abuzz with meetings of various armed forces these days. According to top city police officials, they are in process of finalising details of security plans, especially to tackle insurgency and fidayeen attacks.

Additional force in the form of Rapid Action Force (RAF) has arrived in the city while Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) will also be called in.

Mohan Jha, Joint commissioner of police, Sector I, told TOI that a meeting had been called up of the zonal deputy commissioners to discuss security aspects in various police stations across the city on Thursday morning. "We are devising a practical and applicable security plan for the city. In the wake of recent attacks, the review of the security was necessary," he said.

On Thursday, a meeting was held at Navrangpura police station at the Zone I DCP office. Both city sectors have been allotted a company of RAF each.

Jha added that soon check points and observation points will be set up at various critical junctions. "The points will be selected on the basis of inputs of various police stations about the past record and probability of trouble. The entry and exit points in the city will be given the utmost priority," said a senior city police official.

The official added that in the wake of Mumbai terror attack, security of the city has been assessed by various agencies such as city crime branch, special branch, anti-terrorism squad and even intelligence agencies.
