Patna, Friday, January 24, 2025

The District Magistrate of Patna, Dr. Chandrashekhar Singh, and the Senior Superintendent of Police, Mr. Avkash Kumar, announced that the 76th Republic Day celebrations will be organized with grandeur and meticulous planning. The main state function will be held at the historic Gandhi Maidan, with all preparations conducted in line with established standards by the district administration.

The officials addressed a briefing at Gandhi Maidan, emphasizing the importance of maintaining law and order, ensuring effective crowd management, and executing seamless traffic arrangements.

Sector-Wise Planning and Deployment

The DM and SSP highlighted that Gandhi Maidan has been divided into four sectors and further sub-sectors as necessary for efficient management. Senior officials, including Additional District Magistrates and Deputy Superintendents of Police, have been assigned supervisory roles in each sector.

To maintain law and order, 113 magistrates have been deployed across 71 locations in and around Gandhi Maidan, including the Kargil Memorial. This team includes four Sector Magistrates. Each magistrate has been paired with police officers for cohesive functioning. Security forces, including women personnel, baton units, and other police contingents, will also be on duty.

Officials and personnel have been instructed to report to their assigned posts promptly and remain stationed until the crowd has dispersed. Sector officers have been tasked with ensuring strict adherence to these instructions. Senior magistrates will conduct on-the-spot briefings with their teams to ensure coordination and preparedness.

Control Room and Emergency Response

The District Control Room has been set up to function in three shifts, with 22 senior magistrates and police officers on duty. A temporary police station, a control room, 18 watchtowers, and three Quick Response Teams (QRTs) have been established to maintain vigilance across the area.
