The procession sees a large number of people coming from different places and converging at Charminar. Food camps, blood donation camps, distribution of confectionery on the procession route.

However, a few more organizations are yet to take a decision about cancelling their processions or rescheduling it. In all likelihood they will reschedule their procession or seek an alternate route passing through Muslim dominated areas.
