New and improved PCR vans to improve security in Delhi

Recently, Robin Hibu, joint commissioner of police ( Special Police Unit for Women and Children) and nodal officer for North East people, uploaded a few designs for PCR vans for the special unit for North East region on their Delhi Police For North East Folks Facebook page. So, while the winning design is still being finalized, DT decided to pitch in and asked some Delhi designers for their take on the police vehicle. These are their designs. Is the Delhi Police watching?

Alpana-Neeraj

The car is painted in red, white and black, which are the typical colours of many northeastern textiles. 'north east police' is written in bold so that the message comes across clearly, along with the helpline number. there is also a delhi police logo and a map of northeast India.



Kanikka Salluja
Our s.u.v. is made in bulletproof metal in metallic grey colour.we did that for safety reasons and also because we wanted the car to be visible from a distance. we used our staple metal surface ornamentation on the vehicle because metal represents strength, power and courage.



Jenjum Gadi

The north east is the land of tribes and each tribe is distinguished by the colour and weave pattern in their garments. one can tell which tribe someone belongs to just by looking at their garment. so i decided to use these colours and patterns while designing the pcr vans.









Manish Tripathi

The check pattern is derived from the textile weave pattern of northeast india, while the colour is derived from delhi's pcr vans. the spear and one-horn rhino logo is derived from the lifestyle of the people living there. the striped font is used to show the diversity of the region and its people, while the red strap is meant to be in reflective paint.
