“Two SPs, 16 DSPs and 30 SHOs will be on duty for the main procession that will start from Delhi Gate at 12 noon and end at Data Darbar at midnight,” Ashraf told The Express Tribune.
He said police had taken clerics and procession organisers on board while devising a security plan for the Eid. Walkthrough gates and metal detectors would be used to search participants of the processions.
The DIG said participants of processions and majalis would have to pass through three tiers of security. He requested citizens to cooperate with police to maintain order.
Police have carried out search operations across the city to arrest suspects, he said.
The Home Department had earlier issued a directive asking organisers to form teams of volunteers that could be deployed along police to protect the routes of processions.
