He said that the idols installed in the neighbouring districts like Medak, Mahbubnagar and Nalgonda would be immersed in Hussain Sagar. At his office in Basheerbagh on Wednesday, the Commissioner briefed about the security measures being adopted during the festive days and Bakrid along with the Assembly sessions in Hyderabad.

“Along with the 20,000 police personnel from Hyderabad and other districts of Telangana, additional forces from Andhra Pradesh and Chhattisgarh are being drawn for bandobust. Over 400 CC cameras will be installed in the main procession route from Balanagar to Tank Bund.
As many as nine para-military battalions, 30 bomb disposal teams, 30 dog squads will guard the city,” the commissioner said adding that, the 120 patrolling vehicles, 17 interceptor vehicles would function as usual.
