He observed the functioning of CCTV cameras along with Colonel Kohli and Additional SP (AR) Srinivasa Rao, Traffic DSP Abdul Subhan and AR DSP Gandhi. The SP reviewed the preparations for the rally. He asked the officials concerned to issue tokens to the candidates coming for selection on a first-come-first-served basis on the premises of Government General Hospital located opposite the stadium.
He emphasised the need to guide the candidates using a public address system and ensure drinking water and other facilities at the venue. He said the police officers should work in coordination with the army officers and warned of disciplinary action in case of any negligence.
Colonel Kohli said the police and army personnel should work like brothers for the success of the recruitment rally. He said medical teams should be present round-the-clock to support the candidates and made it clear that selections are strictly based on talent and everyone should ensure justice to the participants. Kohli said they have already issued admission cards to the applicants and they should be allowed into the GGH premises after examining their papers and admission cards.
He also added that mobile phones are not allowed into the venue and candidates should be cleanly shaven. Police should plan for running races outside the stadium in case of rain, he said.
