Overview
- District Superintendent of Police Dr. Ajitha Vejendla held a review that formalised round‑the‑clock CCTV and drone surveillance and set up a command‑and‑control centre to monitor the Bara Shaheed Dargah area.
- Quick Response Teams, bomb disposal units and dog squads have been assigned to the festival perimeter to respond to emergencies and security threats.
- Traffic police mapped designated parking zones, diversion routes and signboards and coordinated extra APSRTC services to manage vehicle flow into and out of Nellore.
- The Festival Committee and A. P. Waqf Board pledged expanded sanitation, drinking water and pilgrim amenities while the state government reported a recent ₹5 crore allocation for Dargah development.
- Organisers say the four‑day festival will draw very large crowds, so officials have positioned life‑saving equipment at ghats, arranged police accommodation and planned special assistance for children, the elderly and devotees with disabilities; the site’s development traces back to foundation work laid in 2014.
