The Nepal government has mobilised a total of 28,000
members of law enforcing agencies in its capital Kathmandu to ensure foolproof
security to the heads of the states and of the governments flying to the
Himalayan valley city to attend the two-day 18th SAARC Summit beginning from
Wednesday.
The security contingent comprised of Nepal Army, Armed Police Force, Nepal Police and National Investigation Department is now busy with aerial inspections, road patrols and plain clothes surveillance, reports our New Age correspondent Mahamudul Hasan from Kathmandu.
Roaming around the city this morning, it is found that a significant number of security persons were posted along the route from Tribhuvan International Airport to Soaltee Hotel to ensure security to the Very Very Important Persons (VVIPs), upon their arrival today.
Security vehicles were also visible stationed at every intersection in the capital.
Shopping malls, restaurants and others establishments along the main roads were kept shut for the smooth movements of the VVIP guests.
Similarly, new parking lots have been allocated to public vehicles to reduce traffic congestions.
Special passes have also been issued to the private and public vehicles to use during the summit period.
All these measures will remain in place a day after the end of the summit.
More than 1,000 journalists have come here for covering this regional programme. They too will have to carry a special security pass and accreditation card with them for security checks.
