The Background:

“Namami Barak” is an international festival that will celebrate the beauty of the Barak.

It is organised by the Government of Assam. It will be the second River Festival to be

held in Assam after the mega event, Namami Brahmaputra formerly held in the month

of March-April in 21 nos. of Districts across the state touched by the Brahmaputra. The

Namami Barak festival which is to be held in the month of November 18-20,2017 in the

District of Cachar along with neighbouring District Karimganj & Hailakandi. It’s a long

three days event in the presence of the many VVIP’s and VIPs of the Country and

including ASEAN Countries.

Disasters that might take place during the event:

1. Crowd Disaster: Crowding occurs as a result of an excessively large number of

people gathering in a specified and relatively small area. Safe crowd conditions

can be usually assumed for densities up to 2-3 persons per square meter and

maximum acceptable flow of 82 persons per meter. Once the crowd density

exceeds between 4 or 5 persons per square meter, congestion can build up

quickly, which implies high risks for people to stumble or fall. At such events,

there may be greater risks of human stampede which could result into mass

casualties.

2. Fire Incidents- Fire incidents might occur at the event site as there would be

various types of stalls, other places where fire causing factors may reside.

3. Drowning incidents- The event to be held is solely in water including in the

Bank of River and there may be drowning cases. So, risk of drowning would be

high.

4. Boat Capsizing- Various activities would be done through boats and there may

be cases of boat capsizing.

5. Attack by some miscreants- The program will be set across by a number of

VVIPs/VIPs, etc so there may be a chance of attack by miscreants also. So,

security has to be very tight.

6. Plane Hijack-Since the program will be set across by a number of VVIPs/VIPs,

etc so there may be a chance of plane hijacking also.

Apart from this, there may be a chance of Heavy rain/Urban Flood/Water

Logging, Earthquake and Road Accident during the event, so that resource

mobilization plan will be in ready position in the District Emergency Operation

Centre (DEOC) along with contact details.

4 | P a g e

Satellite based communication system will be activated in the DEOC (Control

Room) and also will be in alert 24X7 basis.

Specific Fire and Electrical, Structural Safety Guidelines:

•Enforce fire safety standards.

•Ensure that generator, distribution boxes, circuit breakers are in isolated place

away from the mischievous crowd elements. There should adequate fencing and

security, if required. The electrical appliances should have protection from the

weather too.

•There should be safe and clearly labelled storage of fuel (e.g. diesel to be used by

generators).

•Attempts should be made to minimize tripping hazards (electrical cables, wires)

coming in the way of crowd movements and ensure that these are covered.

•Ensure that there is sufficient number of fire extinguishers at critical control

points and those are of appropriate type (water/foam/powder) for the use.

•Sufficient number of Fire hydrants and First Aid Kits should be available at site.

•Sufficient number of water tanks should be erected.

•Only authorized vendors should be involved in cooking and catering. Identity

cards may be issued. Random checks should be conducted by police and/or event

organizers so as to ensure that only genuine licensees are engaged in sales. NGOs

should be encouraged to report the irregularities observed.

•Establish the load bearing (holding) capacity of the structures. Ensure that the

structure is capable of handling the anticipated crowd turnout. Have a factor of

safety.

•Ensure that lifts, stair-ways are well-lit, are in working condition and have

unblocked access.

•Ensure that all the structures and electrical wiring/appliances are certified for

safety by technically qualified personnel as designated by the government or as

specified in the orders as to who should certify.

16 | P a g e

Transportation and Traffic Management:

• Inform the traffic control staff about the event requirements, expected turnout,

key event location and timings. Assess the impact of location, events close to

the main venue, construction work (if any) on traffic.

• Assess the parking space required.

• Erect observation towers with PA system, wireless communication with the

traffic police controlling the movement of vehicles in the parking space and

binoculars for identifying vehicle numbers, for observing and regulating the

traffic in the parking area.

• Clearly identify parking spaces for 2/3 wheelers, cars and buses. The public

transport system needs to be terminated a reasonable distance away from the

venue of interest. This will help in avoiding direct rush into the venue.

• The above principle applies for private vehicle operators and private vehicles

also. This termination of vehicular movement must be supported by other

means of transport (for the elderly/handicapped as per needs) towards the

venue or by walk. The idea is to ensure gradual entry into the queuing system

rather than a surge.

• Restrict entry of vehicles (and type) beyond parking lot.

• Regulate and arrange parking of vehicles. Maintain orderliness.

• The venue of termination of public/private transport system must be large and

must have clearly marked ingress and egress route.

• Visit/check parking spaces regularly before the event.

• Coordinate with railways and bus operators well in advance so that they don’t

announce too many special trains/buses unilaterally.

• Calculate the staffing requirement at parking spaces, railway station, bus

stands, road intersections and pedestrian crossings.

• Prohibiting vehicular traffic on certain roads around event is, generally, helpful

in avoiding uncontrollable rush of people.

• If roads leading to/from venue are narrow and sans divider, consider one-way

movements only. Avoid inbound/outbound crossings.

• Introduce shuttle bus services between key locations.

• Clearly identify and label administrative/emergency routes which would be

closed for vehicular and pedestrian movements. Pick appropriate fencing on

these routes to prevent possible blocking by unauthorized movements.

• Ensure that the emergency routes are weatherproof.

• Consider charging high parking fee for private vehicles to discourage them from

using those.

• Provide shelters on the routes/ bus stop.

• Ban unnecessary shops; remove illegal structures on the roads.

17 | P a g e

• Movement of VIPs, foreign dignitaries, and diplomats should be on a separate

route, if available. Consider using administrative/emergency route, otherwise.

• Ensure that the routes are well lit.

• Construct barricades to streamline flows or block movements at appropriate

place as deemed fit.

• Inform the local residents/NGOs about the timing of the events and key

locations and possible congestion areas.

• Inform them about route planning around the event dates. Clearly mention the

no entry zones, one-way etc. Distribute route maps in the form of pamphlets,

publish in local dailies, TV channel and put the same on hoardings at key

locations.

• Consider introducing free/subsidized shuttle services for locals a few days

before the event so that they won’t get no entry/one-way surprises which they

may while using their own vehicles.

• Introduce traffic control plan a few days before the event so that the locals can

get used to it.

• Involve locals, NGOs, CBOs, PRIs, Ward members etc to use their local

knowledge.

Social Media Management & Press Briefing:

• DDMA, Cachar will soon be active on Facebook and Twitter, so the daily updates

would be made available there.

• Regular mass reaching would be done through Facebook posts and this disaster

management plan would also be made handy to all.

• Awareness and Preparedness tips would also be shared from time to time, before

and after the event.

• A separate place will be allotted to the media people for smooth coverage of the

event.

• A daily press release will be provided at 5pm from District Administration

starting from 15th November,2017 to 21st November,2017.

P.M. at DRDA Conference Hall, Cachar.

• All media houses would be requested to submit all the videos, pictures, etc they

have regarding the event to District Administration.

• DDMA must open a Facebook account and Twitter Handle with immediate effect

before the Namami Barak Utsav and it should be handled from DEOC 24X 7 basis

and NIC and other Departments must all relevant information to DEOC staff for

update and its dissemination to the General Public about the events and any

precautionary measures.

The Plan and Social Media account opening may be held within 1st week of
