Hyderabad: Minister for Fisheries & Animal Husbandry Talasani Srinivas Yadav on Wednesday directed the officials concerned to make foolproof arrangements for the forthcoming annual ‘fish medicine’ (fondly called fish prasadam) distribution to mark Mrigasira Karthi by Bathini brothers at Exhibition Grounds at Namapally in the city on June 8.
The popular fish prasadam will be distributed among people on June 9, the following day. The Minister held a high-level review meeting on the fish medicine programme with Bathini brothers and officials from various departments like Fisheries, GHMC, Revenue, Health, Traffic Police, Electricity, Roads & Buildings, Water Works and others.
Instructing Bathini to keep adequate quantities of fish medicines, keeping in view of the huge number of people coming from various places to the city, the Minister instructed the Fisheries officials to get ready for one lakh fish seed for distribution. He said a large number of people from various districts, States and even across the nation would throng the city for the famous fish medicine.
“Every arrangement should be made for the smooth conduct of fish medicine distribution programme being conducted in a successful manner by Bathini brothers,” the Minister said. Since a large number of people come to take medicine, the police should plan to take up necessary measures of barricading to avoid stampede and parking facility and space at the Exhibition Grounds, he said.
Mobile teams will work for fish distribution and supply, three shifts with volunteers of three batches will be pressed into service for the purpose. He said to help the people reach out to the Exhibition Grounds, the TSRTC would run some 110 buses. Four ambulances and on-the-spot health services through health camps were need of the hour, the Minister said. The Electricity and Water Works departments should provide uninterrupted power supply and drinking water while the GHMC should take up regular cleaning and upkeep of the venue, he added.
