The Chief Minister held a detailed review on the situation in Telangana districts with Dr K.V.P. Ramachandra Rao, chairman of committee on public safety and security, home minister, Ms P. Sabita Indra Reddy and the director-general of police, Mr R.R. Girish Kumar, at the former’s residence.
The meeting felt that the situation was so far under control but a constant vigil should be kept on the developments. The intelligence officials were believed to have briefed the Chief Minister that the response to the prayer meetings in Telangana districts was poor. There were places where not even 10 members were present, the officials said.
The meeting, however, expressed concern over the TRS attempting to instigate students and apprehended that they might be used as shield also if police try to break the fast. Asked whether additional forces would be deployed a senior official told this newspaper that the local force in Medak district had been handling the security arrangements so far. “The situation is not ripe for use of forces,” he said adding that the reinforcement plan would also be under place.
The meeting also took stock of the smooth conduct of the Greater Hyderabad polls.
Meanwhile, the TRS chief’s open meet programme in Kakatiya University campus on Monday attracted about 7,000 students from different parts of the district. Students’ leaders of 12 associations, affiliated to different political parties, including a large number of KU professors, extended moral support to KCR’s initiative.
