The district administration in coordination with RFCL management and the police department have made all arrangements for the tour programme. In the wake of the call by national trade unions and Singareni workers to block the tour, Ramagundam Police have made tight security arrangements.

Six SPs, eight Additional SPs, 31 DSPs, 92 CIs, 229 SIs, 400 ASIs, 1,178 constables and 102 home guards will be among 2,500 police personnel deployed for the PM’s programme.

Ramagundam Police Commissioner S Chandrashekhar Reddy said those heading for the meeting venue should do so in advance since traffic movement would be stalled at the time of the chief guest’s arrival.

The public have to enter the NTPC township through NTPC ‘B’ gate. People having vehicle passes issued by the police department would be allowed through NTPC ‘A’ gate.
