The temple town of Tirupati in Andhra Pradesh is gearing up to host a three-day All India Conference of Directors General and Inspectors General of Police (DGP-IGP) scheduled to begin on December 4.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah are expected to attend. Tirupati district administration is making elaborate arrangements for this event.

The Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) campus on the Yerpedu-Venkatagiri road in Tirupati, the venue of the conference, is getting a facelift and tighter security ahead of the conference.

Indian Institute of Technology Tirupati (IIT-T) and Culinary Institute of India (ICI), two national institutes near IISER, are also gearing up as some sessions are scheduled to be held.

Tirupati District Collector S. Venkateswar, Joint Collector R. Govinda Rao, Superintendent of Police L. Subbarayudu and Tirupati Municipal Corporation (TMC) Commissioner M. Jayakrishna reviewed arrangements for protocol, security, logistics, accommodation, transport and inter-departmental coordination in a series of closed-door meetings and site visits.

Officials have put government guesthouses, star hotels and private accommodation in the city on advance booking to ensure quality accommodation for the delegates.

Priority for yoga

Yoga will be the main priority during the conference. The AYUSH department has made a special plan for police officers to participate in special yoga classes over three days.

The officers will practice yoga for 45 minutes as per the common yoga protocol to ensure physical and mental fitness, Health Minister Satya Kumar Yadav said.

The goal is to make yoga part of the officers’ daily schedule. According to him, yoga improves concentration, memory and breath control, relieves stress and improves physical condition.

Special trainers from Morarji Desai National Institute of Yoga, New Delhi, and Manthena Ashram in Amaravati will conduct the sessions.
