Loopholes in crowd management fixed: Naidu
B.V.S. BHASKAR
A day after a stampede at the gates of the Pushkar Ghat in Rajahmundry, Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu said all loopholes in crowd management at the Godavari Maha Pushkaram had been addressed to make it safe and secure for all pilgrims.
In an informal interaction with The Hindu on Wednesday, after he had conducted a midnight review of systems at the ghats, Mr. Naidu said, “From Wednesday, I will sit in the Central Control Room and monitor the situation myself to ensure that pilgrims are redirected from crowded ghat to less crowded ones.
“I have asked Director General of Police J.V. Ramudu to camp here along with me to effect dynamic changes to plans as exigencies arise. We will also deploy more security forces to manage the crowd through effective barricading.”
He said a comprehensive analysis of Tuesday’s horror had been done and solutions would be put into effect immediately.
A detailed enquiry has been ordered into all aspects of the case.
