Delhi Police find security lapses at over 120 public places across city
The Delhi Police's special cell has found serious security lapses at more than 120 locations across the capital during a massive five-day security audit launched ahead of Independence Day, officials said on Thursday. The audit covered high-end hotels, metro stations, malls and cinema halls, among others, and found that management was either negligent or did not comply with standard security protocols, they added. Shoppers in a mall in New Delhi. (REUTERS) A senior special cell officer, requesting anonymity, said that the most glaring security lapse was found at a prominent five-star hotel where 22 CCTV cameras were non-functional. 'Despite repeated instructions to fix the surveillance system, the management allegedly ignored the directive, leaving blind spots across crucial entry and exit points. Such laxity puts public safety at serious risk, especially in the run-up to August 15 when Delhi becomes a high-alert zone. Ignoring security advisories is not just careless, it's dangerous,' the officer said, noting that the hotel could face strict action under applicable regulations. He said that several metro stations also lacked adequate provisions for women's safety. 'Checks revealed that the CCTV system at some stations was not up to the mark and the femaly security personnel were either not deployed in adequate numbers or at all. These findings have prompted officials to issue fresh instructions to the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) to bolster surveillance and improve emergency response mechanisms, particularly during peak hours,' he added. A second special cell officer, who was involved in the security audit, said that many shopping malls, often crowded, had security lapses. 'Many malls had not installed boom barriers or X-ray baggage scanners at entry points. Instead, basic metal detectors were being used, offering minimal deterrence to those with ill intent. Our security audit teams noted that the absence of these essential systems increases the risk of unauthorised entry and contraband smuggling. In the present scenario, where threats can manifest at any location, it is unacceptable that malls are still treating security as an afterthought,' the second officer said, requesting anonymity. The audit found that several hotels did not have a fire response plan or had not updated details of their current staff and guests. In many cases, guest records were not properly maintained or shared with local police stations – a standard requirement for all commercial accommodations. According to the audit report, the most lapses were found in the northeast district (16), followed by east (13, of which Shahdara alone accounted for 12). Other districts where significant shortcomings were recorded include southeast (11), southwest (10), west (10), outer (9), central (9), north (8), Rohini (7), and south (6). 'This data has been shared with senior officials, and district-level commanders have been tasked with ensuring prompt rectification. We conducted these inspections based on prior intelligence alerts regarding potential threats around Independence Day celebrations and they were undertaken in coordination with local police, fire services, and intelligence agencies to evaluate the ground-level readiness of critical infrastructure,' the first officer cited above said. The second officer cited above said that the audit findings will be compiled into a detailed report and forwarded to the Ministry of Home Affairs and the Delhi lieutenant governor's office. 'Instructions have been issued to all deputy commissioners of police to personally oversee the compliance drive, with a deadline set for corrective actions. Establishments that fail to comply with security norms within the stipulated time could face penalties or even suspension of operations under relevant sections of the law,' the officer added.

Ban on old vehicles: Delhi govt to study impact, may move court for review
Based on the findings of the Transport and Environment departments on how a ban on end-of-life vehicles (ELVs) would affect the general public and all stakeholders, the Delhi government may move a review petition before the Supreme Court seeking a recall of the order that does not allow diesel vehicles older than 10 years and petrol vehicles older than 15 years to ply in the National Capital Region (NCR), Environment Minister Manjinder Singh Sirsa has said. 'Environment and Transport departments are studying the guidelines, the impact on the public, benefits and consequences on ground and air quality levels… The departments are working on this separately… Once they complete their studies and submit reports, the government will study and take further decisions on filing a petition in the court,' the minister said. According to officials, in their reports, the departments will also mention the measures they have undertaken in the last five months to curb air pollution in Delhi, how they have fared and their future plans. The Supreme Court, meanwhile, said on Thursday that it will examine next week whether vehicles meeting the Bharat Stage (BS) VI emission standards can be allowed to operate in the NCR even after they have completed their life period. The announcement was made after a plea raising the question was mentioned before a bench of Chief Justice of India B R Gavai and Justice Vinod Chandran. Seeking an urgent hearing, the counsel who mentioned it said the SC itself had set the periods for which the vehicles can ply, and so the court's direction was needed for any modification. To fight air pollution, the National Green Tribunal (NGT) had in 2015 ordered that diesel vehicles older than 10 years and petrol vehicles older than 15 years should not be allowed to run in the NCR. This was subsequently upheld by the Supreme Court in 2018. The Transport department, in 2021-2022, started de-registering the old petrol and diesel vehicles. In 2023, the department launched an enforcement drive against these vehicles that were found parked in public places or plying illegally on roads. However, several vehicle owners moved court, which asked the government to come up with proper guidelines to handle ELVs in Delhi. This July, the Delhi government tried to implement a fuel ban on ELVs, but the attempt was met with opposition from the public, following which the move was put on hold. Citing 'critical operational and infrastructural challenges', the government had asked the Centre's Commission for Air Quality Management to put the fuel ban 'on hold with immediate effect'. Sirsa had said that implementing the ban only in Delhi and not the whole of NCR would 'dilute the impact and shift the burden unfairly'. Lieutenant Governor V K Saxena, too, had written to the chief minister, asking the government to move a review petition before the SC against its 2018 order. 'How can a vehicle banned as unfit in Delhi run lawfully in other cities? This is against equal treatment,' the L-G had said in his letter.

SC moots fast-track courts for criminal trials in Delhi-NCR
The Supreme Court on Thursday mooted the creation of fast-track courts in Delhi to expedite trials in cases lodged against 'professional' gangsters and directed both the Delhi government and the Centre to formulate a concrete proposal in this regard within four weeks. At the core of the court's concern was to nip the possibility of such persons securing bail and unleashing a spectre of violence. (HT Archive) The court passed the order after being informed by the Delhi Police, in an affidavit, that 288 cases against gangsters and criminal gangs operating in Delhi are pending trial. Only 108 cases have reached the stage of framing of charges. The affidavit also indicated that by any rate, it will take three to four years for a case to move from framing of charges to prosecution evidence being taken up. So far, only 25% of cases have reached the prosecution evidence stage, the first step of trial, it said. A bench of justices Surya Kant and Joymalya Bagchi found the delay impeding the right of the accused to a speedy trial. At the same time, the bench raised a larger issue about such gangsters securing bail on the grounds of prolonged trials. Even the security of witnesses gets compromised in these situations, the bench added. The court said, 'This week, we read an instance where a witness was murdered. Who is going to depose against gangsters? What is the protective cover that you give them? They are your eyes and ears. If you don't protect them, public confidence in the criminal justice system gets affected and rule of law gets absolutely impaired in the eyes of the common man.' At the core of the court's concern was to nip the possibility of such persons securing bail and unleashing a spectre of violence. The bench said, 'What is happening in the geographical belt of Delhi near to Haryana... They commit crime there and come to Delhi. Just yesterday, a man who committed a murder in Panipat was arrested from Ghaziabad. Society needs to get rid of these gangsters. They must be dealt with ruthlessly. We should not have any misplaced sympathy for them.' While the Delhi Police suggested the court set up dedicated court complexes within jail premises for trial of such hardened criminals, the court said that the issue needs to be dealt with holistically, as such courts will require adequate judicial manpower, support staff and infrastructure. The bench said, 'While the Delhi High Court will not have any objection to providing speedy trial by establishing dedicated courts, this can only happen provided that the Union government and the state of Delhi resolve to introduce a mechanism like fast-track courts (FTC) for trial of these cases.' Making Centre a party to the proceedings, the court said, 'Keeping in mind the pendency of 288 cases against gangsters, there will have to be appropriate strength of courts to ensure cases can be equitably distributed and trial can be held on day-to-day basis.... If such a decision is taken by appropriate authority, it seems to us that all pending trials can be brought to an end.' The court asked additional solicitor general (ASG) SD Sanjay, appearing for the Delhi Police, to also appear for the Centre and give effect to the order. The court agreed to pass subsequent directions for expediting the hearing of such cases once a resolution is adopted by the Centre and the Delhi government. The matter will next be heard after four weeks. The court made the observations while hearing a bail petition filed by one Mahesh Khatri alias Bholi, who is facing 55 criminal cases, many of which are heinous offences. In February, the court refused him bail but expanded the scope of the petition by asking the Delhi Police to specify whether a mechanism could be introduced for a speedy trial in cases concerning gangsters. The Delhi Police affidavit, filed in response to this order, noted that while multiple factors lead to delayed trials, the primary reason was that courts hearing cases against such gangsters facing charges under the Indian Penal Code and Maharashtra Control of Organised Crime Act (MCOCA) handle other routine matters and are burdened with multiple sensitive matters involving the IPC, economic offences and money laundering, among others. ASG Sanjay said that, considering these aspects, the Delhi Police urged the court to set up dedicated court complexes on jail premises. This would not only expedite cases against gangsters but prevent them from getting bail. At the same time, it will enable better safety for witnesses and accused persons and will reduce the opportunity available for such criminals to generate reels and other social media content glamourising their lives, something that is observed when members of gangs are transported from jails to court complexes, it said. The ASG assured the court that a joint meeting of the Centre and the Delhi government will be held to resolve the issue.
