This year on the day of Anant Chaturdashi (Immersion Day of Ganpati Idols) was an acid test of security agencies in the wake of intelligence inputs and alerts from central security and intelligence agencies. Taking no chances the state home department had deployed almost 2 lakhs forces to man and patrol the crowd of more than 50 lakhs people that congregate at various immersion spots across the city in the evening.
To assist the already strained government forces Aniruddha's Academy of Disaster Management had deputed its strong, dedicated and well-trained force of about 4500 DMV’s (Disaster Management Volunteers). Moreover a well co-ordinated and seamlessly connected nerve centre in form of Control Cell was established at Head Office of AADM to co-ordinate and manage this entire activity. There were almost 20 DMV’s who were at this AADM Control Cell who were coordinating with various Location Coordinators at 58 Spots in Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, Thane and few more areas in the rest of Maharashtra. It was truly a professionally managed and extremely well co-ordinated Control Cell.
These efforts of AADM and its DMVs was acknowledged from all the quarters including government authorities, media, devotees, police authorities, etc. The supportive articles, 14-September 2011 issue of DNA and 14-September 2011 issue (Pune) of Sakal. that have published this news is attached in this post at the top.
