Addressing the officials, the DC said, keeping in view past experience in not causing any inconvenience to devotees, the arrangements should be perfect.

"Non-receipt of complaints from the devotees will indicate the successful holding of the jatara". Sha advised officials to work well in coordination for four days and complete all necessary works by February 16.

The Wi-Fy zones should be increased, Buses should be run to other areas, Expert swimmers should be deployed and health camps conducted.

The SP said once the arrangements were completed by February 16 she would brief the department personnel. She advised the police to strive to ensure that the past parking problems don't occur.
