Fatehgarh Sahib, Dec 24

The three-day annual Shaheedi Jor Mela is set to begin tomorrow. Thousands of devotees have already thronged Fatehgarh Sahib for the event.

Every year, the town hosts lakhs of devotees from across the world on the occasion. The district administration has pressed into service mobile Covid testing labs in view of the pandemic. It also plans to distribute one lakh masks among people. The district police have installed CCTV cameras at different locations and will also be using drones for surveillance.

Amneet Kondal, SSP, said the district police had installed high-tech CCTV cameras at all sensitive points in Fatehgarh Sahib. “The district police have launched a mobile app to help devotees get information on parking, medical facilities, medical aid, temporary bus stands, alternative routes and others. People can also register their complaints regarding missing persons or belongings on the app,” she added. — OC
