The annual Sri Hassanamba Devi and Sri Siddeshwara Swamy Jathra Mahotsava is set to take place from October 29 to November 11. Deputy Commissioner Latha Kumari has emphasized the utmost importance of ensuring a smooth and safe experience for all devotees attending the festivities.
Officials have been instructed to meticulously plan the installation of barricades, specifically addressing concerns raised from the previous year regarding injuries caused by inadequate fencing. Crowd management strategies are to be robust, with teams ready to make swift decisions based on real-time situations.
Cleanliness within the temple premises, queue lines, and restrooms is a top priority, necessitating the formation of dedicated teams working in shifts. Furthermore, measures will be taken to ensure the absence of stray dogs around the temple complex, and provisions for 24/7 medical assistance will be arranged.
Special arrangements are being made for persons with disabilities and senior citizens, including separate queues with wheelchairs and a dedicated waiting hall. The festival will also feature separate counters for donations and offerings to streamline the process for devotees.
