The police is planning to purchase new barricades specially designed to stop protesters who go on rampage. The new barricade is almost double in height and has a barbed wire on top. The police has decided to purchase around a hundred such barricades.
“We have decided to purchase these specially-designed barricades after our personnel were manhandled during protests in New Delhi area. The protesters used to overturn barricades or crossed them to reach up to the police. They will face difficulty in crossing these double in height and with barbed wire on top. It can’t be overturned,” said the police official.
“We plan to put up these barricade outside 7 Janpath, the Prime Minister Office and 10 Janpath, Mrs Sonia Gandhi’s residence,” said the police official.
