 The Visakhapatnam City Police, in collaboration with Mr. Mavuri Venkata Ramana, has appointed thirty beach guards. The Marine Police and Community Guards have formed four teams to have control over the coastal areas. 

The police will cover the entire beach road stretch with the help of dragon lights, radium jackets, vigil cards, ropes for emergency, life jackets, inflated tubes, and binoculars. A team consisting of Law and Order, Armed Reserve Police, and the SHE team will monitor the Beach Road. The traffic police will be present at thirty six different places on the coastline to monitor the situation.

During the Sankranti festival time, RK Beach Road is expected to be crowded and activities, such as kite flying, might attract more visitors.

The visitors are requested to adhere to the safety norms and be careful near the shore line.
