Chandrudu said that special officers for pushkaralu should have comprehensive knowledge of the arrangements and needs of their respective mandals and Pushkar Nagars set up there. They should have clarity over the deployed staff from various departments and outsourced staff for coordination. As many as 74 ghats and 36 Pushkar Nagars were identified in the Krishna district for which a liaison officer and a supervisor would be deployed.
