Ranchi: The district administrations of Ranchi and Khunti have increased security and vigil around picnic spots in view of the pandemic situation.
There are numerous popular picnic spots in Ranchi and Khunti like the Jonha, Dassam, Hundru and Panchghag falls, and dams like Kanke, Dhurwa and Getalsud that receive heavy footfall during this time of the year.
Talking to TOI on Friday, Ranchi rural SP Naushad Alam said, “Additional forces would be deployed around the picnic spots on January 1. Plain-clothed personnel would also be deployed at these places. All the officers-in-charge of police stations have been asked to identify the spots where people usually gather during this time and increase patrolling in those areas.”
