As lakhs of vehicles make a beeline to the Medaram village for the historic Sammakka Saralamma jatara, billed as one of the biggest tribal events, at Medaram, the Telangana police have put in place systems for hassle free experience for devotees.
Officers have already conducted a series of meetings with the district police with regard to traffic diversions, parking, prevention of crime and security to the VVIP visits. The department had already deployed 9,000 policemen drawn from various districts for jatara duties.
The cops expect about 1.25 crore people and the arrival of 3.5 lakh private vehicles and 4,000 RTC buses. It poses a great challenge to the department to regulate vehicular traffic and parking.
