On Tuesday, in the vibrant spirit of Pongal, a festive crowd descended upon Thiruvanmiyur Beach in Chennai to partake in the joyous Pongal celebrations. Families, including children, enthusiastically immersed themselves in beach activities, eagerly anticipating the culminating day of the Pongal festival, Kaanum Pongal, scheduled for today.
In meticulous preparation for the grand finale, authorities took significant measures to ensure the safety of the large gathering. A contingent of 150 police officers was strategically stationed along the beach, implementing precautionary measures to restrict anyone from entering the sea. The upcoming Kaanum Pongal, marking the conclusion of the Pongal festival, is expected to draw throngs of people and tourists to all three beaches of Chennai.
To manage the anticipated crowd, extensive arrangements were made, including the placement of long lines of wooden sticks along the beach shore to control access. Heightened surveillance was achieved through the deployment of CCTV cameras and observation towers, reinforcing security measures for a smooth and secure celebration.
