Three companies of Delhi Police will be deployed in different Dussera grounds, Hassan said. “CCTV cameras have been installed at Dussera grounds. A small number of mounted police will also be used during the function,” an officer said. “Delhi Police are ready, and security measures are in place for Wednesday’s festivities,” Delhi Police spokesperson Rajan Bhagat said.
