Hyderabad, July 28 (Maxim News): Hyderabad Police conducted a field inspection on Wednesday to review traffic and security arrangements for the upcoming Sri Ujjaini Mahankali Ammavari Bonalu Jathara.
DCP Traffic-I Avinash Kumar, led the inspection along the procession route. The inspection covered key junctions in Secunderabad, particularly the Bata X Road area under Mahankali Traffic Police Station limits.
According to officials, Avinash Kumar held an on-site discussion with two senior officers during the visit.
DCP Malkajgiri Zone Ch. Sridhar, and DCP Traffic Malkajgiri K. Rahul Reddy, both participated in the deliberations. Furthermore, the three officers discussed inter-zonal coordination to ensure smooth crowd and vehicle management during the festival days.
Additionally, the inspection focused on four key areas of festival traffic planning.
These include traffic diversions along the procession route, identification of alternate routes for commuters, designation of parking areas for devotees arriving from across the city, and seamless coordination between the Traffic-I and Malkajgiri zones throughout the Jathara period.
BONALU TRAFFIC PREPAREDNESS — KEY FOCUS AREAS
Procession route: Ujjaini Mahankali Temple, Secunderabad
Key junction inspected: Bata X Road, Secunderabad
Traffic station involved: Mahankali Traffic Police Station
Planning focus: Diversions · Alternate routes · Parking · Inter-zonal coordination
Officers involved: DCP Traffic-I (Hyderabad), DCP Malkajgiri Zone, DCP Traffic Malkajgiri
More updates expected as Jathara date approaches
Moreover, the Ujjaini Mahankali Bonalu Jathara is one of Hyderabad’s largest and most attended annual festivals. It draws lakhs of devotees from Hyderabad, Secunderabad, and surrounding districts.
As a result, the procession route and surrounding roads see extremely heavy footfall and vehicle movement during the festival days. Early planning helps police manage both devotee safety and traffic flow effectively.
Furthermore, Bonalu is a thanksgiving festival celebrated primarily by the Telugu community in honour of the goddess Mahankali.
The Ujjaini Mahankali Temple in Secunderabad hosts one of the most prominent Bonalu celebrations in the twin cities. Consequently, traffic management at Bata X Road and adjoining areas is a critical part of the police’s festival preparedness plan every year.
Meanwhile, Hyderabad Police will issue detailed traffic advisories and diversion orders ahead of the Jathara.
Commuters and residents near the procession route should watch for official updates from Hyderabad Traffic Police on road closures, alternate routes, and designated parking locations. Further details will be released as the festival date approaches. (Maxim News)
