New Delhi: A three-tier security plan has been put in place for the 19 counting locations ahead of the Delhi Assembly election results on Saturday, with 10,000 police personnel and two paramilitary companies per centre, according to officials.

"We have made robust security arrangements (for counting day). Only authorised personnel will be allowed inside the counting centres, where the use of mobile phones will be strictly prohibited," said Special Commissioner of Police Devesh Chandra Srivastava addressing a press conference on securing arrangements for the counting day.

He said that two companies of paramilitary forces would be deployed at each of the counting centres while the Delhi Police personnel would check security outside these centres.

"Two metal frame detectors, hand-held metal detectors and X-ray machines will ensure proper security of the counting centres. Delhi Police has already conducted anti-sabotage checks at all the counting centres," Srivastava said.

He also said that an additional DCP would monitor the entire counting centre's law and order.

The police teams are already coordinating with the returning officers and political party members to maintain peace during the counting process. PCR Vans will be deployed and the traffic police will ensure smooth vehicular movement, he added.
