Following the 2001 Indian Parliament attack, concerns were raised about the security of vidhana soudha. The fencing near the footpath on all sides were replaced with a strong 10-foot high steel fencing. Consequently watch towers, upgraded scanning equipment, automated doors and thorough screening systems were installed.

Famous quotes containing the word security:
“There is one safeguard known generally to the wise, which is an advantage and security to all, but especially to democracies as against despots. What is it? Distrust.”
—Demosthenes (c. 384–322 B.C.)
“The contention that a standing army and navy is the best security of peace is about as logical as the claim that the most peaceful citizen is he who goes about heavily armed. The experience of every-day life fully proves that the armed individual is invariably anxious to try his strength. The same is historically true of governments. Really peaceful countries do not waste life and energy in war preparations, with the result that peace is maintained.”
—Emma Goldman (1869–1940)
