Police stations across the state will soon be equipped with sirens to alert residents during emergencies, covering a 5-kilometer radius, according to the Director General of Police. The state plans to install two types of sirens, including manual ones, to ensure functionality even during power outages. Dedicated personnel will manage the sirens, activating them during alerts and deactivating them when the threat subsides. This initiative aims to improve public safety, with over 450 police stations participating. The move follows suggestions for similar alert systems in urban areas, such as fire alarms in slums.
