00:30In today's program, we will learn about the activities of the police department to protect the law and order in the Madikeri area of Kodagu district.
00:51K.Ramarajan, District Police Commissioner of Kodagu District Police Department.
01:02Namaskaram, Ramarajan.
01:04Namaste.
01:05Welcome to this program.
01:07Thank you, thank you so much.
01:08Now, Dussehra has started.
01:11Friday, there is Ayudh Pooja.
01:13Saturday, there is Vijaya Dashami.
01:15Sunday, there is Jambu Sawari.
01:16What is the most challenging day for you?
01:19We have 12 days.
01:21That is on Saturday.
01:23Saturday, Saturday night.
01:25The whole night we have a celebration here.
01:28Approximately one to one and a half lakh people come to Madikeri.
01:32So people come from outside?
01:33Yes, people come from outside.
01:34Approximately the total crowd is one to one and a half lakh.
01:38From outside, about 75,000 to one and a half lakh people come.
01:42People come from outside of our Kodagu district.
01:45How many vehicles can come?
01:47On average, about 20,000 to 25,000 vehicles can come.
01:54In this, three things are important for us.
01:58One is diversion.
02:00We have to divert the road.
02:01In the case of inflow from Mysore to Mangalore,
02:05it gets stuck here.
02:07It gets jammed in Sampajai road from GT Circle.
02:10Road diversion is one.
02:12So, two is parking.
02:13Already in Madikeri, parking is not an option.
02:18So, parking is a big challenge.
02:20Three is, when so many people come,
02:23safety of women and children.
02:25Safety.
02:26Safety.
02:27Their safety is important for us.
02:29So, for that, in the bus we came,
02:31particularly since I was there last year,
02:33there were some issues.
02:34Last year, there were some small mistakes.
02:37We corrected those and this time we are planning to make it better.
02:40Most importantly, to divert the road.
02:42What do you mean by road diversion?
02:43Where should it be done?
02:45In road diversion, particularly for us,
02:47the Mangalore road gets congested.
02:49For that, what information are we giving?
02:51Here, to go through Madikeri to Mangalore,
02:54in big vehicles,
02:55to avoid heavy vehicles,
02:57we have already told everyone.
02:59Also, we are giving information there.
03:01For diversion, we have come to Mysore and Dakshinikanj district.
03:06They are ordering.
03:07One, from Bilikeri, through Hassan,
03:09we have to go to Mangalore.
03:11In the same way, when we come from Mangalore,
03:13from Manekadai,
03:15we have to take diversion and go to Bilikeri through Hassan.
03:17So, that is one.
03:18Another thing, if we come slowly,
03:20is our Gudeyasur.
03:22From Gudeyasur to Siddapura,
03:24from Siddapura to Thalathmanai,
03:25from Thalathmanai to Mangalore.
03:27So, another thing, if we come beyond that,
03:30is our Gadhella.
03:32From Sundikuppa to Gadhella,
03:33from Siddapura to Thalathmanai.
03:36Similarly, when we come in reverse,
03:38from Thalathmanai to Gudeyasur,
03:40we are delivering here.
03:42So, this is a challenge.
03:44We need this in the main route.
03:48You said that about 20,000 vehicles will come.
03:52Where will the parking be made?
03:54So, we have made the parking
03:56in 7-8 places.
03:58One, when we come from Virajapet,
04:01in Makeri,
04:03there is a government higher primary school.
04:06So, we have made the parking in the ground there.
04:10So, when we come from there,
04:12in Thalathmanai road,
04:14there is Netaji Yoga Sangam,
04:16and there is a glass bridge parking.
04:18We have spoken to them.
04:20Those who come from Dasara,
04:22should stop there and come forward.
04:24They should walk.
04:26We have made another thing to walk.
04:28Autos.
04:30We have given permission for 15 autos.
04:32So, 15 for Thalathmanai,
04:3415 for Makeri.
04:36So, when we give a big vehicle,
04:38we have thought about it.
04:40When so many people come,
04:42it is difficult for a big vehicle to pass.
04:44And in a big vehicle,
04:46there is a blind spot.
04:48So, when we go in an auto,
04:50there is no problem for pedestrians.
04:52So, we have chosen an auto for that.
04:54So, in Sampajai road,
04:56last year, there was a lot of traffic jam.
04:58So, in the morning,
05:00at 3-4 o'clock,
05:02there was a lot of traffic jam.
05:04There was parking on both sides.
05:06When there is a lot of parking on the road side,
05:08there is no opportunity for vehicle flow.
05:10So, this time, we have decided
05:12to completely avoid roadside parking.
05:14Earlier, we used to come to
05:16Mann's compound.
05:18We used to come to Junior college,
05:20ITI college,
05:22FMC college.
05:24We used to give opportunities
05:26in the towns nearby.
05:28There are already some vehicles in the town.
05:30So, we used to come there.
05:32There is a bus stand in Madikeri town.
05:34It is a KSRTC bus stand.
05:36It is a private bus stand.
05:38We used to park on both sides.
05:40There is a small school
05:42where our staff used to meet.
05:44The school is inside the town.
05:46The school has given permission.
05:48We used to park there.
05:50When we used to come from Mysore,
05:52we used to come to Mann's compound,
05:54particularly Junior college.
05:56We used to divert there.
05:58So, this time, we have decided
06:00to avoid roadside parking.
06:02In case of vehicle parking,
06:04we will tow the vehicle 100%.
06:06We will tow the vehicle and file a case.
06:08We have already done no parking.
06:10We have already done no parking here and there.
06:12So, we will not park there.
06:14If you avoid roadside parking,
06:16you will be able to travel comfortably
06:18after the function.
06:20The safety of our people is very important.
06:22There are different types of people.
06:24Especially, women,
06:26children, and the elderly.
06:28Is there any special arrangement
06:30for their safety?
06:32This time, we have made
06:348 teams.
06:36The purpose of this team is
06:3815 police officers
06:40will be on one side.
06:428 teams will stand on one side.
06:44We call them sky sentries.
06:46Sky sentries and drones
06:48will be there.
06:50We will be following them
06:52through CCTV cameras.
06:54In case of overcrowding,
06:56we will be there.
06:58In case of local events,
07:00we will be there
07:02in crowded places.
07:04Particularly,
07:06at Raja Seethukadai.
07:08They will walk 100-200 meters.
07:10In that area,
07:12if someone misbehaves,
07:14if 10 boys tease,
07:16if someone does such things,
07:18they will be taken to the police station.
07:20We have already banned
07:22such things.
07:24It has been banned.
07:26There is no chance to protest.
07:28In case of a thief,
07:30we can file a case against him.
07:32We can file a case against him.
07:34We have already done that.
07:36So, this jumbo team
07:38will be there in crowded areas
07:40to avoid eavesdropping, pickpocketing,
07:42and to build confidence.
07:44If you look around,
07:46the police officers will be there.
07:48You can approach them if there is a problem.
07:50Apart from that,
07:52we have four help desks.
07:54If there is a problem with the police,
07:56if the property is missing,
07:58if the people are missing,
08:00or if there is a problem,
08:02we will immediately go to the police.
08:04Gandhi Maidana,
08:06GT Circle,
08:08our police station,
08:10Halai Bus Stand,
08:12we have four police help desks.
08:14There are two help desks there.
08:16They will guide us to the police station.
08:20So, I think this jumbo team
08:22will work effectively for us.
08:24For this jumbo team,
08:26to give us information
08:28on where there is a problem,
08:30we have taken night vision binoculars
08:32from the top of the building.
08:34In the night vision binoculars,
08:36there is a team of 10 people.
08:38They will give him information
08:40through his control room.
08:42We also have a drone in our district.
08:44We use two drones.
08:46When there is overcrowding,
08:48we make an announcement.
08:50So that people don't go there.
08:52Yes, so that people don't go there.
08:54So, we make an announcement
08:56through the drone.
08:58This is in a crowded area.
09:00In the outskirts,
09:02there is no one.
09:04There is a lot of movement.
09:06We have already spoken to the city council.
09:08In cases where there is a lot of lighting,
09:10there is a lot of resistance
09:12to those who make such mistakes.
09:14We call it criminology.
09:16If I don't know who I am,
09:18there is a lot of courage to make a mistake.
09:20In Madikeri town,
09:22there are 800 CCTV cameras.
09:24In our town,
09:26there are 20 police cameras.
09:28Additionally,
09:30we have installed another control room
09:32for the next day.
09:34We have come to the city council
09:36to increase the lighting.
09:38We have also corrected the work
09:40that needs to be done.
09:42We have increased the lighting.
09:44In Madikeri town,
09:46there are only 20 vehicles
09:48running in the outskirts.
09:50There are 10 jeeps and 10 cheetahs.
09:52Two policemen are patrolling
09:54in a two-wheeler.
09:56If anyone tries to drink,
09:58we will file a case against them.
10:00The police jeep and cheetahs
10:02are a very big number
10:04for a small town of 20 jeeps.
10:06If you look around,
10:08you can see the police 100% every day.
10:10That is what we have done.
10:12The sound pollution
10:14is a big problem.
10:16Especially for the elderly
10:18and children.
10:20Is there a solution
10:22for the sound pollution?
10:24There is already a solution.
10:26Last year,
10:28we were discussing
10:30how we can improve
10:32the sound quality
10:34of loudspeakers.
10:36Maybe youngsters can enjoy this.
10:38If there is no discussion
10:40about the sound quality,
10:42we have been discussing
10:44since last year.
10:46If you listen to the sound
10:48for two days,
10:50you will feel like
10:52you are listening to a song.
10:54Some people have heart problems.
10:56Correct.
10:58I will share
11:00another experience.
11:02In Moornad,
11:04there was a mother
11:06who gave birth to a son.
11:08The mother was
11:10using loudspeakers.
11:12The son could not sleep.
11:14The mother was
11:16having a hard time.
11:18Similarly,
11:20there are many animals and birds.
11:22Not just for us.
11:24To think about this,
11:26we have been discussing
11:28since last year.
11:30This year, the committee
11:32has agreed to reduce
11:34the sound pollution.
11:36Last year,
11:38the sound pollution
11:40was reduced to
11:42one-fourth.
11:44We have even told the
11:46pollution control board
11:48about this.
11:50When the pollution control
11:52board files a case,
11:54the case will be strong.
11:56We have also written
11:58a letter to them.
12:00So, there is no problem
12:02in breaking crackers?
12:04We should not violate
12:06the decibel limits.
12:08We should follow
12:10the rules of
12:12breaking crackers.
12:14We are enforcing them.
12:16This is also related to
12:18Madikeri.
12:20In Gonikoppa,
12:22there is a Dasara from
12:24Vijaynagar.
12:26We are anticipating
12:2820,000 to 25,000 people
12:30coming there.
12:32In particular,
12:34we have decided to
12:36do road diversion
12:38from 6 pm to 6 am.
12:40We have planned to do
12:42diversion.
12:44We have also mentioned
12:46the parking usage.

12:54Paliputta, Thithimathi, Mysore.

12:58Virajpet to Hakathur
13:00and not to

13:08to Mysore and not to
