The Sri Rama Navami shoba yatra in Hyderabad was executed flawlessly on Thursday, thanks to meticulous planning and supervision by senior city police officers and coordination with other departments. Technology played a crucial role in the live monitoring of the procession, crowd movement, and traffic flow. City Police Commissioner CV Anand paid field visits to the entire procession stretch in the morning and encouraged the utsav committee to start the procession early, which ended at 1.45 pm. The Anand Singh and MLA Raja Singh processions followed and reached the Hanuman Yyamshala amid huge crowds.
All the events were monitored closely from the Joint Command Control Centre in Basheerbagh, where officials of RTC, R&B, GHMC, EMRI, Fire, and Electricity were present. Anand monitored the live drone footage, CCTV feeds, and radio communications and gave timely instructions to the field officers. Senior officers also reached the field and ensured that the procession moved on smoothly. Thousands of police personnel were deployed for bandobust in sensitive areas.
“The procession was completed peacefully with the cooperation of organizers, various government departments, devotees, and the public,” said Anand. The successful execution of the shoba yatra is a testament to how technology can aid in live monitoring and ensure a peaceful celebration.
