The Hyderabad Police Commissioner, CV Anand, held a video conference with police officials on Thursday ahead of a series of key events this month, including the Formula E race, the inauguration of a new Secretariat building, the Legislative Assembly session, and festivals, and urged them to remain alert and ensure the peaceful conduct of the events.
He directed officials to develop clear traffic management and diversion plans to ensure smooth movement for the general public, VVIPs, and other dignitaries, and to ensure that no one creates any law and order problems near the Legislative Assembly.
“Zero error access control at the Assembly should remain our top priority and we have to deploy adequate force at key intersections, lanes by-lanes,” he told the officers.
Anand directed traffic officers to launch digital and other campaigns across all platforms to educate the public about the road closures associated with the Formula-E race. Social media monitoring teams were given instructions to keep an eye out for rumour mongers.
