According to a report by Sandesh, a dense security cover has been prepared by the police administration at the Amirgarh border located in the border area of Banaskantha district. To ensure that the law and order situation remains uninterrupted during the auspicious festivals of Diwali and the New Year, the police have intensified vehicle checking operations. To ensure there is no lapse in the state's security during the festive season and to prevent any untoward incident, police contingents are deployed and performing their duties.
Every small and large vehicle passing through this border is being stopped and meticulously inspected by the police. The main objective of the police is to prevent illegal items such as weapons, intoxicants, liquor, or drugs from entering Gujarat during the Diwali days. Along with checking the decks of vehicles, police personnel are also questioning suspicious passengers to curb illegal smuggling. Following this intensive operation by the police, panic has spread among anti-social elements, while the sense of security among common citizens has strengthened. According to local police officials, the administration is fully equipped to maintain law and order during the festival days.
