There have been incidents of rioting in crowded areas of the city during the day. As the patrolling policemen have sticks, the policemen are attacked by the criminals. It has been decided to provide pistols to the police to prevent such incidents. 125 state-of-the-art two-wheelers will be made available for patrolling. Two policemen will patrol on a bike. 250 policemen patrolling different parts of the city have been given special training. The city will soon be patrolled by a team of trained police.
