AMMAN — The Public Security Directorate (PSD) has announced implementing a comprehensive security and traffic plan aimed at facilitating movement of the public and ensuring the provision of safety, traffic, and humanitarian services throughout the Eid Al Adha holiday.
The plan includes several key operational components, covering all governorates, major roads, residential neighbourhoods, marketplaces, and recreational areas, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported.
The plan also involves deploying additional mobile and foot patrols, boosting readiness to handle reports and incidents around the clock, and enhancing operational preparedness to manage increased activity at border crossings, particularly in anticipation of returning expatriates, regional visitors, and pilgrims coming back from Hajj.
As for traffic, relevant departments have launched a strategy focused on regulating traffic flow and curbing dangerous violations and reckless behaviour, the PSD said.
Environmentally, the Royal Department for Environmental Protection will conduct joint inspection tours with relevant agencies, concentrating on markets and livestock sacrifice points, as well as tourist and forest areas, to ensure compliance with environmental regulations and prevent practices that could harm public health.
In line with its rehabilitative approach, the PSD announced that correctional facilities will remain open to allow family visits during the holiday, promoting family ties and a humane detention environment.
The Civil Defence Department has raised its state of readiness to deliver emergency humanitarian services, where rapid-response field teams have been deployed at popular recreational areas and water bodies to ensure quick and professional handling of any emergencies.
PSD called on the public to remain vigilant, comply with guidelines, and exercise caution, urging them to report any emergencies through the unified emergency number 911.
