New Delhi, May 1 (PTI) The Delhi Police has put heavy security arrangements in place to prevent stunt biking and facilitate people offering prayers on the occasion of Shab-e-Barat tonight, the police said.

Devotees offer prayers at mosques on the night of Shab-e-Barat.

"We are coordinating with the local police in handling the arrangements in different parts of the city, especially in the south, south east, the central and the Lutyens Delhi areas," said a senior Delhi Traffic police officer.

An officer from the New Delhi district said that they have put pickets in the areas bordering south and central Delhi to monitor bikers.

The areas around the India Gate would be out-of-bounds for two wheelers with pickets on the roads to prevent stunt-biking by youngsters, he said.

In the past, accidents involving stunt biking took place on Delhi roads as scores of youth took to roads violating traffic rules, he said.
