Mulugu: Cops give impetus on traffic

Mulugu: When a carnival is as big as Sammakka Saralamma jatara at Medaram, regulating vehicular traffic assumes a lot of importance, Commissioner of Police (Warangal) V Ravinder, who is also the in-charge of Traffic Management for the jatara, said. Giving a power point presentation on traffic management at Pasra Police Station on Monday, he told the police personnel to ensure vehicles parked at designated places in and around Medaram village.

He told the officials to ensure proper lighting at parking places during night hours. "The vehicles heading to Medaram would be kept at holding points in case of congestion until the traffic was cleared. He emphasised the need for ensuring facilities such as toilets, drinking water etc at the designated parking places.

The police have to guide the devotees properly so that they could reach jatara without much confusion.

He told the personnel to clear the breakdown vehicles immediately with the help of cranes so that ensure free flow of traffic. The RTC buses and official vehicles would be allowed to Medaram via Tadvai, while the private vehicles would have to take the route of Pasra and Narlapur.

He said that the RTC bus point is located within two kilometers from the main altar. Mulugu SP Sangram Singh G Patil, Mahabubabad SP N Koti Reddy and Khammam Police Commissioner Tafsir Iqbal were among others present.
