Hyderabad: Hyderabad Police will make elaborate arrangements for the peaceful conduct of Hanuman Jayanti yatra scheduled on April 2, Police Commissioner V. C. Sajjanar said on Tuesday. As part of the arrangements for the peaceful conduct of the annual procession, a coordination meeting was conducted by the Police Commissioner with officials and organisers.
He said approximately 168 processions are expected to converge on the main yatra. To ensure security, nearly 3,000 police personnel, along with additional armed forces, will be deployed at key locations.
Organisers have been advised to train volunteers, ensure effective crowd management, and strictly adhere to designated routes, according to the Commissioner. Special precautions have also been emphasised regarding idol heights in view of flyovers and railway bridges along the route. The police have urged organisers and participants to remain vigilant and immediately report any suspicious individuals.
Traffic diversions will be implemented in advance to minimise public inconvenience, and citizens have been requested to cooperate by following police instructions. Additionally, the public has been cautioned against believing or spreading rumours on social media, with strict action to be taken against those posting provocative content.
Following the meeting, the Commissioner conducted a field inspection of the 12-kilometre yatra route from Gowliguda Ram Mandir to Tadbund Hanuman Temple.
The meeting was attended by officials from various departments and representatives of different Hindu organisations.
