The National Gendarmerie has announced a comprehensive security plan to ensure the safety and security of citizens and their property during the upcoming New Year’s celebrations and the coinciding winter school break. The plan aims to secure transportation routes across the country.
This initiative is part of the Gendarmerie’s proactive measures, involving the deployment of significant personnel and resources. Field units will be strategically positioned to maintain public order and road safety, particularly during this period of increased travel and movement of people and vehicles. The plan anticipates a significant influx of both domestic and foreign tourists to popular destinations, hotels, and commercial areas, especially in the southern regions of the country.
Gendarmerie units will focus on securing gathering places, entertainment venues, tourist areas, train stations, and bus terminals. They will also ensure smooth traffic flow and monitor key road arteries, particularly at the entrances and peripheries of urban areas.
The security plan also incorporates preventative and awareness campaigns targeting road users, emphasizing the importance of adhering to safe driving practices, especially given the challenging weather conditions prevalent during winter. Emphasis will be placed on responsible driving and vehicle maintenance.
As part of their commitment to community engagement and public service, the National Gendarmerie reminds citizens of the availability of the toll-free number 1055 for reporting incidents, requesting assistance, or seeking emergency intervention when necessary. Additionally, the ‘Tariqi’ (My Road) Facebook page offers real-time traffic updates. Citizens can also utilize the dedicated website www.ppgn.mdn.dz for pre-complaints and remote inquiries.
In closing, the National Gendarmerie extends its warmest wishes to all citizens for a safe and peaceful New Year celebration.
