With the main objective of enhancing visible policing at the Marina Beach area, the Greater Chennai Police (GCP) has installed a new solar-powered Out-Post (OP) at a strategic point on Marina beach for easier identification to the public who need assistance, especially during night hours.
In a notification released by the Greater Chennai Police in this regard, it is mentioned:
“This will also instil a sense of safety among the public, during huge gatherings, besides acting as deterrence to culprits. It plays a crucial role in reporting and tracing missing children,”
Apart from this, the sleuths of the Coastal Security Group (CSG) also move in a police vehicle with blinking lights along the shore to monitor the movements of the public.
The CSG anti-drowning teams along with GCP Marina patrols are now playing a significant role in protecting those who attempt suicide, besides safeguarding the public from drowning!
