In response to Diwali celebrations, Jaipur Police are on high alert, prioritizing both public safety and smooth traffic flow. The city has seen increased police deployment, especially in crowded market areas.
Quick Response Team (QRT) and Enhanced Surveillance
Jaipur Police have stationed a Quick Response Team (QRT) in key areas to provide swift support if needed. Officers will patrol these busy market spaces, ensuring visible security presence. Additionally, the Abhay Command and Control Centre at the Jaipur Police Commissionerate has activated CCTV surveillance, covering all corners of the city to enhance monitoring.

Jaipur Police Commissioner Biju George Joseph highlighted the dual responsibility his team faces this festive season. “An additional police force has been deployed to secure the city and maintain traffic order,” he said. Commissioner Joseph also extended his own Diwali wishes, adding, “Police personnel have been deployed to ensure public safety. CCTV cameras have been installed to monitor security arrangements, and we urge everyone to cooperate with the police.”
Traffic Restrictions and Market Safety Measures
Traffic police have implemented strict measures to manage crowd congestion in the markets.
