Delhi Assembly Orders Security Overhaul After Breach

The overhaul targets coordination lapses exposed by the breach.

Overview

  • Speaker Vijender Gupta, who chaired a high-level review Tuesday, ordered immediate upgrades to the Assembly’s security after the breach disrupted official movement.
  • All entry gates will get hydraulic road blockers to stop unauthorized vehicles, with at least two trained guards posted at every gate and no car allowed in without verification.
  • A mobile patrol unit will now rove inside the complex to respond faster, replacing a reliance on only static posts at fixed points.
  • Gupta called for a single command for Delhi Police and CRPF with real-time information sharing, following an inspection and CCTV review by Intelligence Bureau and Delhi Police that flagged access and coordination gaps.
  • Agencies recommended monthly mock drills, a centralized alarm system, and reinforced or collapsible gates, while the Speaker noted police have arrested the accused and ordered periodic checks as changes roll out.
