Delhi Police announced that more than a hundred trained sniffer dogs will be on duty for the upcoming BRICS Summit, performing anti‑sabotage sweeps at the main venue, Bharat Mandapam, and at the hotels hosting foreign delegations. The operation involves handlers ranging from constables to Assistant Sub‑Inspectors and is supported by the National Security Guard, the Indian Army and other paramilitary units, which have contributed additional K9 assets.
The police force’s K9 unit currently fields 110 dogs, of which thirty are deployed round‑the‑clock at the summit venue, while another twenty‑five are assigned to the New Delhi district, especially the Chanakyapuri diplomatic enclave. The remaining dogs are stationed at hotel locations and kept on standby to inspect markets and other strategic points before any foreign dignitary arrives. In the lead‑up to the summit, more than fifty Belgian Malinois, Labradors and German Shepherds were inducted from the Army, and the dogs participated in mock‑drill exercises overseen by the NSG.
The Dog Squad, established in 1967 under the Crime Branch, routinely assists in crime detection, explosives and narcotics identification, and rapid‑response operations. Their involvement in the BRICS Summit underscores the emphasis on pre‑emptive security measures to protect delegates and reassure the public ahead of a high‑profile international event.
