In an attempt to ensure peaceful ‘Shivaratri’ fest slated on March 4, SDO Garima Singh conducted a meeting with the members of Pahari Mandir Vikash Samiti here on Friday. During the meeting, the SDO gave a number of instructions to the committee members to prevent any untoward incident on the temple premises.
From decking up CCTV cameras to defining the routes for the convenience of the devotees including additional deputation of the security forces, the committee members have been instructed to chalk out a detailed draft ensuring all facilities.
“As many as 200 security personnel will be deputed on the temple premises on the pious days. Around 100 female constables will also lend their service on the occasion to assist the female devotees. Also, all non-functional cameras will be replaced at the earliest, as per the instructions. More than 22 CCTV cameras are there,” said PRO, Pahari Mandir Vikash Samiti – Mukesh Kumar Agarwal.
“Additional facilities like provisions of water including other basic materials required for carrying out the rituals will be provided at the temple. Also, Argha system will be adopted in an attempt to tackle rush during the peak hours. Alternate traffic route chart plan will be released soon,” added Agarwal.
