East Godavari SP P. Jagadeesh has said that police personnel have been deployed to guard the Ghats along the river Godavari on both fronts of Rajamahendravaram and Kovvuru to prevent any untoward incident during Karthika Masam in the East Godavari district.
Devotees from across the State would take a holy dip in the river Godavari during Karthika Masam which ends on December 11.
“We advise the devotees to avoid venturing deep into river Godavari for the holy dip. We strongly recommend not to let children go for a bath in the river without the company of the elders. The depth at the ghats is also not safe for swimming”, said SP Mr. Jagadeesh.
The ghats including Kotilingala, Pushkar, Markandeya, Gouthami, Rama Padalu and Gospadalu would be under the watch by the police till December 11.
