Sectorial staff gears up for jatara

Medaram (Bhupalpally): Being a part of such a huge event like Sammakka-Saralamma jatara is once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Bhupalpally in-charge Collector R V Karnan told the sectorial officers, who gathered at Medaram on Wednesday. 

It may be mentioned here that the government has deputed 509 personnel, including 38 sectorial officers, for the smooth conduct of the biennial jatara, scheduled to commence on January 31. “To ensure smooth conduct of a jatara that attracts no less than one crore devotees is no easy job, unless there is an absolute coordination among the officials,” Karnan said.

He said that all the sectorial officers will be given a walky-talky and BSNL mobile phone sims to be in contact with each other and as well as with the control room. The in-charge Collector said that division of work and delineation of responsibilities will be shared by the officials working in three shifts. Karnan said that they are working on avoiding the mistakes that occurred during the last jatara.

Joint-Collector D Amay Kumar, ITDA Project Officer Chakradhar Rao, Sub-Collector VT Gowtham, Greater Warangal Municipal Commissioner Sruthi Ozha, trainee Collector Santhosh, CPO Komuraiah and I&PR DD DS Jagan were among others present.
