The Uttar Pradesh Police played an admirable role in ensuring the success, safety, and grandeur of the Uttar Pradesh International Trade Show-2025 (UPITS-2025), which concluded on Monday. Utilizing smart policing and advanced technology, the force set a new standard in security, traffic management, and public safety. The event, attended by foreign delegates, VIPs, and millions of daily visitors, was conducted as a zero-incident affair under constant surveillance from the Control Command Centre. Drones, CCTV cameras, anti-drone systems, and other advanced tools facilitated seamless arrangements. Detailing the deployment, Additional Commissioner of Police, Greater Noida, Rajeev Narayan Mishra stated, “We had 7 DCPs, 14 ADCPs, 38 ACPs, 80 Inspectors, 300 SIs, 40 women SIs, and 1,400 constables on duty.
Additionally, 150 women constables were deployed for women’s safety. To bolster security, 7 PAC companies and 1 RAF company were stationed at the venue.” As part of this significant initiative by the UP Police, special attention was directed towards traffic management. To avert congestion and traffic jams, 10 Traffic Inspectors, 20 Traffic Sub-Inspectors (TSIs), 450 Traffic Constables, and 3 ACPs (Traffic) were deployed. Their coordinated efforts ensured smooth traffic flow, allowing visitors to access the venue without difficulty. The results were apparent, as attendees experienced a seamless and hassle-free journey to the event site. To enhance the security arrangements of the venue and surrounding areas, the city was divided into 9 zones and 20 sectors.
Furthermore, a control room was established, operational 24 hours a day, monitoring all aspects of security. Through 550 CCTV cameras, the entire area was continuously monitored, ensuring immediate response to any suspicious activity. Parking arrangements were also a critical requirement for this event. For this purpose, 7 parking sites were created to accommodate 15,000 vehicles, with the largest capacity at NASA Parking, which could hold 10,000 vehicles at once. Additionally, shuttle buses were arranged to transport people to the venue, offering visitors convenient parking options. Under smart policing, the police adopted a digital approach. Visitors to the event were informed about the diversion plan through social media platforms, enabling them to reach the venue via the correct route.
This exemplified the system of smart policing, where technology was leveraged to provide accurate information to the public and facilitate better traffic management. High-level security arrangements were established for visitors, particularly for foreign delegates and guests. Safe and convenient transportation was arranged from their hotels to the UPITS venue. Moreover, signboards were installed both at the venue and throughout the city to guide individuals and ensure they could easily reach the event site. Heightened security measures were implemented, including the deployment of drones and anti-drone technology to secure the airspace. These advanced technological interventions highlighted the UP Police’s complete adoption of smart policing and emphasized their crucial role in making the event both safe and efficiently organized.
