CP Delhi, Shri Sanjay Arora emphasized on various measures for the smooth organisation of Republic Day, more so in view of the upcoming G-20 Summit. A drive should be launched to trace and verify the recently released criminals. All the released criminals with a terrorist/radical background need to be closely watched and accounted for.
