Expecting a huge turnout of devotees to the Tiru Kalyana Mahotsavam to be held in the temple town of Bhadrachalam on Sunday, a large contingent of police force comprising around 2200 personnel has been deployed in the temple town to oversee the bandobust arrangements for Sri Rama Navami festivities.
With life appearing to be limping back to the pre-pandemic normal, tens of thousands of devotees are expected to throng the temple town to witness the celestial wedding of Lord Rama with his consort Sita after missing an opportunity to attend the celestial spectacle in person for two years in a row due to COVID-induced lockdowns over the past two years
Two ASPs, 14 DSPs, 55 CIs, 165 SIs and other police personnel have been drafted for bandobust duty, sources said.
