Secretariat security to go up

STAFF CO..ESPONDENT
The government has planned to step up security at the Secretariat and equip police deployed there with modern technologies and sophisticated devices and impose further restrictions on entry to it.
Sources at the home ministry said the authorities have already restricted entry of visitors to the Secretariat reducing issuance of gate pass and not allowing officials, employees and others to use date-expired identify cards.
Police have meanwhile fined a good number of people and seized their date-expired identity cards and lodged complaints with the authorities concerned.
The home ministry has requested all ministries to inquire about the persons concerned before issuing pass.
Moreover, police will be equipped with 'mirror metal detector' to check around 2,000 private cars and vehicles of different government bodies and institutions
