ADMs would be incharge of each zone and deputy collectors would look after these sectors, he said adding, zonal security would be looked after by police officer of additional SP rank and sectors would be looked after police circle officer rank.
Police in plain clothes will also be posted to avert any untoward incident in the Bankey Behari temple premises where maximum congregation is expected, he said.
Pilgrims have been advised against carrying bags and costly items to the temple.
