Security arrangements stepped up in Coimbatore for CM’s visit
As many as 4,000 cops will be deployed across the city during chief minister M K Stalin’s two-day visit from Monday. Cops from Nilgiris, Tirupur and Erode have been brought to Coimbatore to beef up security, a senior officer said.
As thousands of DMK cadres are expected to reach the city, police have announced traffic diversions. “The CM will attend a function at VOC Park ground on Avinashi Road on Monday and another at Codissia auditorium on Tuesday morning. Thousands of party functionaries and beneficiaries of government schemes are expected to attend the events.
So, traffic congestion is expected on Avinashi Road as well as the adjoining roads on Monday and Tuesday. All people, including school and college students, should leave early for their destinations as the city would face huge traffic snarls from Monday morning,” the officer added.
Motorists should take alternate routes. People visiting the airport, railway stations and bus terminals should plan accordingly. Heavy vehicle users should get permission from the police to enter the city.
