Anticipating heavy influx of pilgrims in Vrindavan and Goverdhan on Akshay Tritiya tomorrow, four magistrates would remain on duty round-the-clock as part of beefed up security arrangements in the area.
"While four magistrates would remain on duty during day time, as many magistrates would remain on duty during night. One Magistrate would be inside Bankey Behari temple and one outside it," ADM A K Awasthi said.
Police in plain clothes would also be deployed at important temples. To prevent incidents of cholera, random sampling of eatables has been started today, he said.
Entry of four wheelers inside Vrindaban have been banned for tomorrow. "While four wheelers coming from Delhi side would park in Rukmini Vihar parking on Vrindaban Parikrama Marg, vehicles coming from Mathura side would park near Pagal Baba parking," SP (Traffic) Ashutosh Dwivedi said.
