Cops plan for Shravan Somvar

Nashik: The Nashik rural police have put in place strict security arrangements in Trimbakeshwar, taking into account the huge rush of devotees that are to turn up on Monday to offer prayers at the Trimbakeshwar temple for the first Shravan Somvar. A force of nearly 500 policemen and home guards would be deployed in various parts of the town to ensure there is no untoward incident. Senior officers said the bandobast would be for the first, second, and fourth Shravan Somvar. There will be a separate bandboast for the third Shravan Somvar, when there will be an even bigger rush in the town. Police officers said they have also made parking arrangements in separate areas so devotees coming by their own vehicles do not have a problem with parking. The Trimbakeshwar police said personnel of the Local Crime Branch (LCB) of the police will also be present to ensure there was no case of pick-pocketing, theft, etc. The Panchavati police in Nashik city have also decided to deploy sufficient bandobast around the Kapaleshwar temple on the Godavari river banks, where a large number of people would continue to offer prayers on the backdrop of the Shravan Somvar.
