Lack of security guards, unchallenged entry for vehicles and visitors, among others, are common security issues at PMC office, District Collector's office, Central Building and Council Hall; PMC security officer rubbishes findings
It has been a week since four low-intensity blasts disrupted life in the city, but it appears that the government officials are yet to learn a lesson. A survey of four important government offices in the city revealed that security in and around these offices was not up to the mark.
Structures surveyed were Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) office, District Collector’s office, Central Building and Council Hall. Though security guards were deployed at the PMC office main gate, visitors were rarely frisked. Cars and other vehicles are seen entering the office premises freely, without registration or proper search. While metal detectors were installed at the entrance of the main building, not a single security guard was deployed at the spot.
