Staff from Police, Municipal Corporation, Fire, Health, Revenue and others played a pivotal role in organising the ‘International Yoga Day’ event successfully in the city on Saturday (June 21). An estimated 3.3 lakh people participated in the programme.
What drew widespread appreciation was the seamless coordination among departments, which helped restore normalcy across the city swiftly after the event.
While there were brief traffic snarls between Yendada and Venkojipalem, as a large number of buses departed at once after the programme concluded, the police, aided by real-time technology, swiftly eased the congestions.
Traffic along many parts of the 28-km Beach Road stretch from Bheemunipatnam to RK Beach was reopened within minutes after the event to ease pressure on NH-16.
Thousands of volunteers played a crucial role in managing the compartments and ensuring that participants received essential services during the programme.
