Alongwith mobile squads, City Patrolling and Rider Squads would also patrol the city.

The personnel of Bomb Disposal Squad (BDS) and sniffer dogs units would also be deployed to provide security to the general public at populated places. The procedure of inspection at all entry and exit points of the district would further be tightened while snap checking at different places would be carried out to avert any untoward incident.

During the last 10 days of Ramadan it has been decided that lady police officials would be deputed at markets where mostly female customers visit for shopping. The security of mosques would also be enhanced as over 1000 police personnel would be deputed there at the time of Taravih and other religious rituals.
