District Magistrate, South N D Agrawal, held a joint meeting with police officers from the district and representatives of the Sarvajanik Ganesh mandals to plan and put an effective security plan in place during the festivities. “The meeting was called against the backdrop of the arrest of top terrorists in the last few days. We have suggested a host of measures to the Ganesh mandals including installation of CCTVs, barricades, baggage frisking, emergency lights, notification of the immersion route etc.,” he said.
Against the backdrop of the Margao bomb blast which was placed in a scooter, the authorities have suggested to the mandals to ensure that parking is allowed beyond 50 meters away from the Ganesh mandaps.
