TN: Crime-free shopping ensured during Deepavali

Coimbatore, Oct 20: In an effort to ensure crime-free shopping experience during the Deepavali season, the City Police have hit upon the idea of availing the help of traders on Cross Cut Road in roping in the services of 24 private security guards.

The City Police Commissioner, K C Mahali, and Deputy Commissioners of Police S. Rajendran (Law and Order), and K. Thondiraj (Crime and Traffic) have drawn up an elaborate bandobust scheme for the shopping areas in the city. While the Law and Order officers and police constables would be on duty for regulating the crowd in a bid to ensure visible policing, policemen in civil dress from the crime wing would be on the job of keeping track of the movement of suspicious persons, especially habitual offenders, ex-convicts and dossier criminals.
