Hyderabad:
Security was tightened in Andhra Pradesh Thursday as the
Srikrishna Committee on the Telangana issue is all set to submit
its report to the central government.
Fifty companies of central paramilitary forces have been deployed
in addition to the state police forces across the state,
especially in the Telangana region.
As the five-member Srikrishna Committee, which looked into the
demands for and against separate statehood to Telangana, has
sought an appointment with union Home Minister P. Chidambaram to
submit its report, the police in the state went on alert.
Chief Minister N. Kiran Kumar Reddy reviewed the law and order
situation with state Home Minister P. Sabita Indra Reddy, Director
General of Police Aravinda Rao and other senior officials.
The chief minister asked the police chief to take all
precautionary measures to maintain peace and law and order. A
police official said they were not taking any chances in view of
the violent incidents of last year.
As many as 25 companies of the Central Reserve Police Force (CRPF),
Border Security Force (BSF) and the Central Industrial Security
Force (CISF) have been deployed in and around Hyderabad.
Since the violent incidents late last year and early this year had
affected the Information Technology sector and created fears among
people from Andhra and Rayalaseema settled in Hyderabad, the
authorities beefed up the security here.
While 18 companies are deployed in Hyderabad to tackle any
protests after the report is made public, five companies will
provide security in Cyberabad, the IT district housing many global
and national giants. Two more companies will be on standby at the
office of the DGP.
Hyderabad is one of the 10 districts of Telangana. The authorities
had deployed two companies each in seven other districts of the
region.
The remaining para-military forces were deployed in Andhra and
Rayalseema regions. Two companies were deployed in Visakhapatnam
rural, and one each in Anantapur, Tirupati, Visakhapatnam city,
Vijayawada and Guntur.
As Osmania University in Hyderabad was the nerve centre of the
agitation for Telangana state late last year and early this year,
bulk of the forces in Hyderabad were stationed at Amberpet Central
Police Lines to deal with any student unrest.
The central government has asked the media to exercise restraint
in telecasting stories relating to the Srikrishna Committee
report. The information and broadcasting ministry has urged the
media not to carry speculative stories which may cause untoward
incidents.
The National Broadcasters Association (NBA) has issued guidelines
for the television channels and cable operators in Andhra Pradesh.
