Civil Defence Volunteers to

ALLAHABAD: Volunteers of Civil Defence Core on Friday decided to provide all sorts of assistance to ‘kanwariyas' visiting the city of Sangam during `shrawan somvars'. Volunteers also held an important meeting at Daraganj, Shrengri Math and decided to support Daraganj police authorities in maintaining law and order situation.
With `shrawan somvars' beginning from July 27 there would be extra rush of `kanwariyas' moving towards Varanasi after taking holy waters from Sangam, volunteers of Civil Defence Core have also decided to carry out awareness campaign to avoid any untoward incident.
Volunteers would appeal `kanwariyas' not to enter in deep water at river Ganga and take care while taking a holy dip at Sangam. As there is heavy water flow at Sangam due to monsoon rains, volunteers would be offering a helping hand to `kanwariyas' and asking them to safeguard their valuables as well.
A campaign would also be taken effectively that no one could pick up any unclaimed objectionable object like bag, suitcase, transistor and mobile and police officials and civil defence personnel would be present there to maintain a close watch on crowdy days.
Besides, there would be proper cleaning of ghats, adequate light arrangements and potable water services for the ‘kanwariyas', claimed volunteers. The eminent persons who attended the meeting included RP Mishra, additional deputy controller, Ravi Kumar, Neeraj Mishra, KK Pathak, Madhubala, Dukan Ji and others.
