After getting rapped for poor security, BMC tightens its systems

MUMBAI: A week after facing criticism for not detecting weapons and fake bombs being carried by anti-terrorism squad (ATS) officials and letting them the enter civic headquarters, the security team of the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) tightened their act and detected a dummy bomb that was being taken into the building by the police as part of a mock drill.

They managed to foil another effort of ATS man from Azad Maidan police station to carry a dummy bomb into the civic headquarters.

According to the civic officials, the incident happened on Tuesday when the ATS man in formal clothes tried to enter the civic head office from gate number 6 with a bag carrying dummy bomb.

Babasaheb Ghule, the security guard who was on duty, asked for his identification. However, as he tried to evade questions, Ghule put his bag in the baggage-scanning machine.

Woman security guard Darshana Pawar, who was manning the machine, found on the screen that the bag contained electrical circuits.

"Following the incident, we have tightened our security system. These efforts will continue in the future, no compromise will be made regarding the BMC's security," said a senior security officer.They immediately intercepted the suspected person, who finally revealed his identity as a policeman and also told the bag contains a dummy bomb.

On the backdrop of possibility of terror attack on the city, the ATS often tries to check the alertness of BMC's security system.

Similar attempt was made on August 22 when four ATS officials had entered the BMC carrying weapons and dummy bombs through various gates.

Taking serious note of this, the ATS officials met municipal commissioner Sitaram Kunte and expressed deep concern over the lapse in civic security system.
