Vijayawada Divisional Railway Manager (South Central Railway) Mohit Sonakia, East Godavari District Collector Ch. Kirthi, Superintendent of Police D. Narasimha Kishore and Mr. Meena reviewed preparedness for crowd management and coordination among all stakeholders for the upcoming Godavari Pushkarams.

“An action plan will be prepared in consultation with the Railways, APSRTC, police and other departments concerned for the management of the visitors. The railway authorities have also shared their inputs on their preparedness for the Pushkarams on Monday,” Mr. Rahul Meena told The Hindu .

Ms. Kirthi has directed the police and transportation departments to prepare a report on route maps, entry and exit points at the railway stations, including Godavari and Rajamahendravaram railway stations, and walking routes to guide visitors during the Pushkarams.

Ms Kirthi also stressed the need to interlink the municipal corporation's communication systems and command control rooms with the Pushkaram control rooms and the railway authorities.
