HCP held coordination meeting ahead of SreeRamanavami Shobayatra

 

A coordination meeting was held today with officers from all departments on the occasion of the Sri Ram Navami Shobha Yatra at Draupadi Garden in Sitaram Bagh. The meeting was presided over by Sri. CV Anand IPS, DG Commissioner of Police Hyderabad.

Speaking on the occasion, Sri. CV Anand IPS, DG Commissioner of Police Hyderabad, said that the Sri Ram Navami Shobha Yatra started in 2010 and has gained fame across the country in a short time. The Sri Ram Navami Shobha Yatra proceeds from Sitaram Bagh to Hanuman Gymnasium. On behalf of the Hyderabad City Police, we are making significant security arrangements from beginning to end to prevent any untoward incidents. The people and the organizers of the festival should cooperate with the police for the peaceful conduct of the Shobha Yatra. He requested that arrangements be made to start the Shobha Yatra by 1 PM.

Keeping in mind past experiences, and considering that the Shobha Yatra routes are quite narrow, making it difficult for large vehicles to pass, the festival committee members were asked to arrange a trial run with the vehicles in advance. Since the police department is monitoring security with the help of drones, it was suggested that anyone wishing to use drones should obtain permission from the local police in advance. Otherwise, it will cause problems for both the Shobha Yatra organizers and the police. It has been learned that people are experiencing heart problems and hearing issues due to the use of DJ sound systems. Therefore, for the welfare of everyone, using a regular sound system instead of a DJ is advisable. He asked the organizers to ensure that there are no songs or speeches that denigrate other communities during the Shobha Yatra.

A joint control room will be set up in the ICCC building to monitor the Shobha Yatra. He asked all government departments to take steps to ensure that the Shobha Yatra ends successfully without any problems. He said that special security arrangements will be made at all major intersections and problematic areas along the Shobha Yatra route, along with continuous monitoring through CCTV cameras. He asked the organizers and people to follow the rules during the Shobha Yatra and celebrate the festival with devotion. The organizers of the Shobha Yatra should take appropriate precautions regarding the height of the idols.

All departments of the Hyderabad City Police and the Special Police are preparing to provide security with 20,000 police personnel for the Sri Rama Navami Shobha Yatra. We have established full-scale surveillance on the movements of criminals with the She Team and CCS police. He suggested that Hyderabad Zonal Police Officers and other departmental officers form WhatsApp groups with their staff to facilitate information sharing. He said that preventive measures have been taken to prevent any untoward incident in Hyderabad city.

GHMC Additional Commissioner said that all arrangements are being made for the Sri Ram Navami Shobha Yatra. Orders have been issued to all officials for road repairs, street lights, and other facilities, and instructions have been given to our officials to ensure that devotees do not face any inconvenience.

After the coordination meeting, Sri CV Anand IPS, DG Commissioner of Police Hyderabad, the GHMC Additional Commissioner, members of the Bhagyanagar Sri Ramanavami Utsav Samiti, and officials from R&B, Electricity, Fire, 108 Service, RTC, Water Supply, Transport, and other departments jointly inspected the main procession route of the Sri Ramanavami Shobha Yatra scheduled for the 6th.
