Step up security in banks: SP
Ambala, September 28 Anand said a number of steps could be taken by the banks to avoid any untoward incident. “We have observed that many bank branches have either aged security guards or the security guards are not present at the gate. The banks must ensure that security guards should properly discharge their duty,” he said. Going by the slack security at the banks, the robbers are having a field day; and each time the police comes to know about these incidents, the robbers make a safe exit. Anand said they had been advising all banks to spruce up security by installing CCTV cameras at the entrance and exit points and also at strategic places within the bank premises and provide well-trained armed security guards. The police presence around the banks was being increased. Citing their own problems, certain banks have done little in the name of security, he added. Sources revealed that some have installed CCTV, but do not have armed guards. He said the banks had been advised to set up hotline with the local police station. “We have strongly urged the bankers to ensure that if they are carrying out a drill, they must inform us in advance,” he said. The SP also observed that there had been a drop in the murder cases and also been a decline in cases of eve teasing. |
