Ensuring Tight Security
The Uttarakhand Police have geared up to make the event a success by ensuring tight security arrangements at the venue and the marathon route. The Deputy Inspector General (DIG) Garhwal Karan Singh Naganyal and the Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) visited the location on Saturday and provided instructions to the officials in a police briefing.
All the police forces will be posted at their designated duty places by morning at 6 am, said DIG Naganyal. The ambulances, fire services, etc., will be dispatched on the right route to ensure that essential services are operational without any hindrances, he said.
National Unity Day is celebrated every year on October 30 to mark the birth anniversary of Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel, who played a significant role in the political integration of India. It was introduced by the Government of India in 2014.
The official statement for the day by the Home Ministry cites that the National Unity Day "will provide an opportunity to re-affirm the inherent strength and resilience of our nation to withstand the actual and potential threats to the unity, integrity, and security of our country."
