The role of ham radio operators in the just-
concluded Krishna Pushkarams has come in for
appreciation by one and all. A team of 70 ham
radio licence holders, which included
engineers, government officials, college
students and other professionals, under the
leadership of their coordinator A. Ramesh
Babu, established a link between the
important ghats and other key points like the
bus stand and railway station and maintained
a hawk's vigil throughout the 12-day river
jamboree. A ham radio control station was
established and operated from the Control and
Command Centre (CCC) and it was in operation
24x7 to receive live inputs from all the key
points. ham radio operators were active in
Durga, Krishnaveni, Punnami, Padmavathi,
Vijayakrishna, Bhavani and Gollapudi ghats.
"At Gollapudi ghat, an elderly person
suddenly collapsed after he suffered a heart
attack while offering pinda pradanam . An
alert HAM radio operator moving around the
ghat with a walkie-talkie communicated the
matter to the CCC. The Deputy District
Medical and Health Officer there took control
of the situation," said Mr. Ramesh Babu.
Citing other incidents Mr. Ramesh said at
Padmavati ghat, there were reports of a few
pilgrims entering the bathing ghat along with
their dogs, polluting the water and causing
inconvenience to pilgrims. The Ham radio
station also reported to the CCC a case of
eve-teasing by a few local youth at the same
ghat, responding to which the security
personnel removed the youngsters from the
place.
