JAGTIAL, SEPTEMBER 17, 2024: The ongoing Ganeshotsav is keeping the police busy and many officers are also clocking in extra work hours daily. At such a time, National Service Scheme (NSS) volunteers from Government Degree College for Women, Jagtial have been volunteering to help with traffic and crowd management, as well as tank clean-up after immersion of Ganesh idols in Jagtial town on Tuesday.
The NSS volunteers participated in the Ganesh immersion procession to ensure that they provide necessary guidance to the participants. They were first taken through an orientation programme by the officers at the local police station. The students helped with traffic diversion, and crowd management and assisted senior citizens at immersion venue.
Such orientation programmes were held by the police and students were also taught basic first-aid. NSS students are also in touch with the lifeguard patrol, whenever their help is needed.
The students said, “It is very difficult for the police to handle the crowd on immersion days so we help them out. Special attention is paid to senior citizens, women and children.” NSS programme officers N Sangeetha Rani, D Sujatha, G Sreelatha, and TSKC coordinator G Neeraja accompanied the students.
