These routes also connect to several other districts, making them critical from both the security and traffic management perspectives. Adequate deployment has been made at all these locations,” a senior police officer said.The officer said Delhi Police has also held coordination meetings with police authorities of neighbouring states to ensure seamless movement of devotees and a prompt response to any emergency.“Our teams will not restrict themselves to jurisdictional issues. If assistance is required anywhere along the route, police personnel will respond immediately and coordinate with the concerned district,” the officer said.On Wednesday, senior officers of the Delhi Traffic Police inspected arrangements at Telco Point in Ghazipur and Chintamani Chowk in Shahdara, where they reviewed traffic management measures and interacted with personnel.Fire stations across the national capital have also been directed to remain on alert to tackle any emergency during the pilgrimage, police said.(With PTI inputs)<\/div>\n
