New Delhi: Taking lessons from the public assassination of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe in Japan, the central government has sent a new advisory to the states regarding VVIP security. In this 5-point advisory, it has been advised to be on high alert regarding VVIP security. In this, attention has been asked to pay attention to safety from the front as well as the back. Let us tell you that Shinzo Abe was shot from behind by a young man. Within a few hours of the assassination of the former PM in Japan on July 8, this advisory was sent to the states on behalf of the central government to take special care of VVIP security.
The media has learned that five points have been specifically mentioned in this advisory. In this, emphasis has been laid on ensuring the security of VVIPs from the back side. The Center has said that when the VVIPs sit on the stage, security personnel should be deployed to keep an eye on all the people from behind. Especially such arrangements should be made in rallies. In fact, experts say that in the security of VVIPs, most of the focus remains on their front, so many times there is a possibility of ignoring the security from the back side. In view of this, the Center has emphasized this point.
The central government has also said in the letter that strict measures should be taken to prevent the crowd from coming near the VVIPs. Keep a close watch on who is coming close to VVIP. The road leading to the VVIP should be thoroughly investigated and the movement of people from there should be monitored. The government has said that the security personnel should also ensure that no one is allowed to go too close to the VVIP area. People living near VVIPs should also be thoroughly investigated. The security personnel should be present there at all times and keep an eye on the close people as well.
It has been said in the letter that the belongings of VVIPs should also be checked, especially when there is a possibility of finding a weapon. The new directive clearly states that the security personnel in the inner periphery of the VVIP should be monitored from 360 degrees. The security arrangements should be tested by conducting surprise drills before the VVIP visit. If anything happens, a plan should also be prepared in advance about how to take the VVIP to a safe hospital.
Former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was assassinated on July 8 during a political event outside Yamato-Saidaiji Station in the Japanese city of Nara. A young man shot him from behind with a pistol made at home. Abe was taken by medical helicopter to the hospital, where he was declared brought dead.
