Dholpur Police Deploys 1,700 Personnel to Secure Upcoming Panchayat Polls

Dholpur. The Dholpur police administration has finalized a comprehensive security strategy to ensure the upcoming fourth phase of the Panchayati Raj elections, which marks the second phase for the district, proceeds in a peaceful and fair environment. With voting scheduled across the Rajakheda, Basedi, and Sarmathura blocks, authorities have mobilized a force of 1,700 officers and personnel to maintain law and order. This deployment aims to cover 305 polling stations, ensuring that voters can exercise their democratic rights without fear or intimidation.

Superintendent of Police Vikas Sangwan has directed the force to maintain high levels of vigilance and impartiality throughout the process. The security grid includes personnel from the Rajasthan Armed Constabulary, Jaipur police units, and home guards from Dholpur and Ajmer. Under the supervision of Additional Superintendent of Police Vaibhav Sharma, the force will monitor polling stations, sensitive villages, and major transit routes to prevent any disruption to the electoral process.

To facilitate rapid response, 44 mobile police units equipped with wireless communication tools will conduct continuous patrols across the three blocks. These teams are supported by 21 supervisory officers, each accompanied by dedicated security details to oversee the integrity of the polling stations. The deployment plan specifically allocates additional armed forces to booths identified as sensitive or highly sensitive, ensuring that potential flashpoints are managed effectively.

The coordination of these efforts will be centralized through the police control room at Gulab Bagh. This hub will manage communication between mobile patrols and supervisory units to address any emergencies promptly. Furthermore, the police have initiated flag marches in various localities to build public confidence and encourage voter participation. Authorities have issued a stern warning that any attempts to influence voters, violate the model code of conduct, or engage in illegal activities such as the distribution of illicit substances will be met with strict legal action.

As the polling teams prepare for departure from the Government Polytechnic College, special traffic arrangements will be implemented at key junctions to ensure smooth logistics. The administration remains committed to maintaining a secure atmosphere, emphasizing that any negligence or bias during election duties will not be tolerated.
