The special police commissioner of the crime branch, J K Bhatt, on Wednesday said that around 20,200 personnel of police, home guards, State Reserve Police, and paramilitary forces will be deployed at strategic locations along the 18km route of the yatra. The chariots pass through some communally sensitive areas.
