A series of peace meetings were held at the SP level in the districts last week. “We are taking all precautions. No major law and problem is expected in the State,” DGP Ravi Gupta told Telangana Today. In Hyderabad, the local police will be supported by the City Rapid Action Force, Commissioner’s Task Force, TSSP, and mounted police.

At communal sensitive places, police pickets were deployed and the public movement was monitored closely from the command and control centre at Banjara Hills. The local police were directed to identify the places where special prayer meetings were organised and initiate security arrangements. Senior officials will be camping in the communal sensitive localities of the city as a precautionary measure.
