On a regular weekday in Bengaluru, the rhythmic clip-clop of hooves echoed, as a dedicated team of police personnel and well-trained horses marched around Cubbon Park and the Vidhana Soudha, becoming the cynosure of visitors and passersby.
Police Commissioner B. Dayananda on Thursday reintroduced mounted police for “aerial law enforcement” in and around Vidhana Soudha, aimed at not only enhancing visibility and security for the crowd gathering on the weekends but also as a strategy to improve crowd control and for overall law and order management.
“Hooves on the pavement, eyes on the watch! Our majestic mounted patrolling horses are here to make Bengaluru safer, one neigh at a time. Let’s make safety a shared responsibility,” Mr. Dayananda said.
