In this great sports event, 10,500 athletes from all over the world will show their strength. The city of Paris in France has been transformed into a completely impenetrable fortress for these players and their coaching staff. Police and gunmen have been deployed around the city of Paris. The entire city is being monitored by drones, Rafale, jets and helicopters.
The city has witnessed violence
Violent and dangerous attacks have been seen in France in the last few years. Even the city of Paris could not escape from this. Terrible violence has been seen here too in the last several years. Many terrorist attacks have also taken place in this city in the name of Al Qaeda and Islamic State. Due to this, no risk is being taken regarding the security of the players who have come to play in the Olympics. Separate new venues have not been built for the Paris Olympics, rather old and famous venues have been chosen for the events, while temporary venues have been built for some games.
Security arrangements will be made for lakhs of people
A total of 10,500 athletes are participating in the Paris Olympics. Apart from this, their coaching staff will also be present with these players. Apart from this, lakhs of spectators will also come to watch the game. For the security of all these, France has taken the help of the army, sharp shooters, paramilitary forces and police. All of them are engaged in providing security to millions of people. It is said that Paris is currently home to the largest military camp after World War II. Security forces deployed in any corner of the city will be ready to reach any part in just 30 minutes.
There will be security from ground to sky
The entire city of Paris has been handed over to the security forces. Security forces have been deployed in every area of the city. According to media reports, 60 thousand policemen and 10 thousand army personnel have been deployed for security in the city of Paris. They will protect the city from the air as well as ground security. Rafale aircraft for air defense, AWACS surveillance flights drone airspace monitoring, Reaper surveillance drones, helicopters with sharpshooters and drone shooting equipment have been deployed.
Security forces of 40 countries also resorted to AI
Artificial intelligence software is also being used for security at the Paris Olympics for the first time. This will prove to be very helpful in finding unclaimed bags or in surging crowds. 40 countries have sent about 1,900 policemen to France to protect the athletes at the Olympics, all of whom will work with the local security agencies of France.
The President said that Plan B and C are also in place
French President Emmanuel Macron has assured the public about the security arrangements at the Olympics and said that both Plan B and Plan C are in place if anything happens. Army's second in command Brigadier General Eric Chassabaugh said that this was a big operation. I have never seen this level of security in France before. Whatever happens, we are ready.
No fly zone will be implemented
Preparations are underway to declare an area of about 150 kilometres around the Seine River as a no-fly zone during the opening ceremony of the Olympics. Along with this, cameras equipped with AI software will help security agencies to deal with any potential threat.
India also helped
India will also play a role in the security of the Olympics to be held in France. Indian police officers will monitor the security arrangements with trained K9 dogs. Dogs of this breed played a key role in the raid on Osama bin Laden's hideouts in 2011. ISIS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi was also chased in a Syrian tunnel. These dogs are extremely dangerous and ferocious.
