"As safety of people coming to the maiden public meeting of Chiranjeevi is our top priority, we have made elaborate arrangements to ensure its smooth conduct on tuesday," says Allu Aravind, brother-in-law of megatar.

Addressing a media conference here today, he said all necessary arrangements were made to bring Chiranjeevi from the airport to Avilala tank, venue of the public meeting.

"If he is struck in traffic, a helicopter has been kept standby to pick him from that spot," he said.

Aravind, who maintained caution while fielding a barrage of questions from mediapersons, did not reveal any details pertaining to Chiranjeevi’s party and leaders joining the new political outfit on tuesday. "The entire programme will be held from 4 to 7 pm for the convenience of public. Cultural programmes will be held before Chiranjeevi’s speech."

Emphasising on safety, he urged the people coming from different parts of the State to drive safely. "Your safety is our priority. Follow traffic rules, avoid overspeed and don’t cause traffic jams, there by causing inconvenience to others.

Fans coming to the meeting have been asked not to bring crackers. People will be allowed into the venue from 11 am only for security reasons," he said.

Every effort was made to see that no inconvenience was caused to pilgrims visiting Tirumala. "If you feel any inconvenience, please forgive and bear with us," he urged pilgrims.

Arrangements were made at the venue for an estimated crowd of 10 lakh. Special enclosures were set up for differently abled and women.

Trained volunteers would assist the police in crowd management. To ensure that Chiranjeevi is visible to every one, huge digital screens were set up.

Arrangements for drinking water and first aid were also made. Eight ambulances were kept ready at the venue.

He thanked the district collector, police, fire and other officials for extending their cooperation in making arrangements for the mega event.

Security advisor to Chiranjeevi C Anjaneyulu Reddy was also present.
