Get to Know your Security Guard (Part V) and their Shifts.


This is the 5th Guard. Finally i got a hold of his photo. His name is Prem and , a nepalese. Speaks little BM but can comprehend what we tell him. Newest guard. Tall though, surprisingly :-).

There are 7 guards altogether. 3 in the daytime shift and 4 at night.

9am-12pm, 2pm - 5pm described as non- peak hours in the daytime. The automatic barrier at Guardhouse A on Road 1 will be closed and entrance will be monitored by the guard. The barrier gate at Guardhouse B at Road 4 is partially closed and entrance is monitored by the second guard. The third guard on shift will patrol our area.

The other hours of the daytime will be considered peak hours ie school dismissal time. During Peak hours the barrier gates are not closed. But entrance into our area is still monitored by the guards at the guardhouses checkpoint.

At night, the both barriers close at 745pm. There will be 2 guards at the Guardhouse A and 1 guard at Guardhouse B. One of the guard from Guardhouse A will assist the 4th guard in the patrolling of the area after 12am. And at 2am-6pm, the 4th guard will concentrate his duty only at Road 6 and Road 8 plus end of Road 1 area.

Just yesterday night, a house alarm rang at about 3.30am. This 4th guard sprung to action immediately getting on his bike and riding to survey.

At 7am, the barriers open but guardhouses are to be manned by 1 guard. If you do not see a guard at the guardhouses, please let me know. My email address is karenlohkh@yahoo.com
