Security stepped up

Ramlila Maidan was packed to capacity on the 7th day of Anna Hazare's hunger strike. Celebrities including Kabir and Pooja Bedi, Kailash kher and Jaspal Bhatti were there along with the common people to lend support.

Seeing the response, Delhi Police beefed up security at Ramlila Maidan on Monday morning by deploying Rapid Action Force (RAF) personnel and a team of female Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF) cadre.

Delhi Police spokesperson Rajan Bhagat said that more security has been deployed outside every MP and MLA's house after Anna supporters started targeting them in their strikes. He said that five security companies have been pressed into service outside the Ramlila Ground to avoid any untoward incident.
