Kolkata
Police would like to make your visit to our exciting city
as pleasant and safe as possible.
You can help us further by following these simple tips while
touring Kolkata.
1.
Carry your wallet in an inside jacket pocket
or side trouser pocket, never in the rear pocket.
2. Cary pocketbooks in the bend of your elbow, held close to
your body. If there is a long strap, wrap it around the bag.
Carry credit cards and cash in your pockets.
3. Keep pocketbooks on your lap when dining out, not dangling
over the back of a chair. Avoid placing pocketbooks on hooks
on the back of a fitting room or bathroom door, where someone
can easily reach over and removed them.
4. Leave valuables and important papers, such as jewelry and
passports, secured in your hotel's safe deposit box. Never leave
these items unattended in your room or carry large sums or cash
on your person.
5. Be wary of unexpected persons coming to your hotel room.
Never open the door to unsolicited room service or maintenance
people. Contact the front desk if you have any doubts.
6. If you schedule a meeting with a potential client, research
the company and the individual with whom you are meeting. Meet
in a public place such as a restaurant.
7. Make sure that luggage only given to a member of the hotel's
bell staff and a receipt is issued for stored luggage. Never
leave luggage or other expensive items, unattended at Airport
or Taxi Stands.
8. Prefer Prepaid Taxi Booth for hired transportation. In this
system you have to pay in advance for Taxi Fare which is already
approved by Department of Transport, Govt. of West Bengal for
each destination in Kolkata.
9. Adequate number of police officers are deputed in proper
uniform outside the Arrival Hall and Parking area. You can contact
nearest police officer to intimate about undesirable elements
and touts in your observation. However, police is taking utmost
care, vigilance and surveillance over these elements, still
it is felt that we can eliminate these elements effectively
with passengers active participation in the drive.
10. In addition to above, police officers in plain clothes are
also deputed to keep watch on suspicious movements. Therefore,
you should never entertain he touts and unscrupulous persons
to avoid harassment.
11. Preplan your destination in Kolkata regarding your stay
and tourism in Kolkata. Never take advice of unknown persons
regarding your stay / tourism in Kolkata. Please strict information
from Police Officers on duty.
