SAFETY TIPS FOR ALL When approaching a security outpost, please observe these simple rules: • Verify as best you can, who is asking you to stop • Reduce speed, slow down and stop. Never pass without stopping • Be polite, courteous and answer all questions simply. • Do not make or receive phone calls; if using an earpiece remove it. • Switch off or turn down the volume of your car radio and all other audio appliances. • If asked to come down, kindly oblige without protest. • If stopped at night time, switch on the vehicle inner light. • Neither you nor other persons with you should enter into an unnecessary argument with the security operatives or show irritation. • Always have your vehicle papers and driving license with you. • Never carry large amounts of money on your person or in the vehicle. As a general rule: • Avoid outdoor bars, large shopping centers and other public places that attract large gatherings. • Be cautions when you go to your religious/worship centres as they continue to be attractive targets for extremists and terrorists. • Avoid ostentatious celebrations as they attract attention of criminals • Make additional security arrangements if you have to be out late • Plan logistics for all movements well ahead of time making sufficient provision for fuel, water and food while in transit. Reveal your plans only to a trusted family member or friend. • Inter-city road travel in this period presents significant challenges because of quantum of commuters travelling for holidays, and traffic delays are common.
