Ahead of the upcoming elections on October 5, around 2,500 police and paramilitary personnel will be deployed in Sirsa to ensure security, said Superintendent of Police (SP) Vikrant Bhushan. He said comprehensive security arrangements had been made to guarantee a peaceful and fair election process. The SP stated that sensitive and highly sensitive polling booths would receive enhanced security, with close monitoring of suspicious individuals and anti-social elements.
