Nellore: Following the earlier bitter experiences in Guntur and Chittor districts, the police administration has made tight security arrangements with 900 cops in various disciplines to prevent untoward incidents during former chief minister YS Jagan Mohan Reddy‘s one-day tour in the district scheduled to take place on Thursday.

However, the police department which has first permitted to allow only 3 vehicles for Thursday’s Jagan‘s tour, finally agreed to permit 15 vehicles including the former chief minister’s convoy.

Guntur Range IG Sarvashresth Tripathi along with in-charge SP A R Damodar held a special meeting with Intelligence, Special Brach, Armed Reserve, Law & Order and other wings of the police and briefed the security arrangements on Wednesday.

Cops have already launched searching operations at lodges, suspected areas and outskirts of Chemudugunta village where Nellore Central prison is located.

This is the first time, police administration has made such elaborate arrangements for Jagan’s tour in the district.
