Home Minister P Sabitha Indra Reddy is expected to make an announcement on a slew of measures to provide extra security so that festivals in the state may pass off peacefully.
An indication to this effect came after she met a delegation of Vishwa Hindu Parishad leaders who called on her at the state Secretariat on Thursday.
The VHP team, headed by its state unit president Ramaraju, was assured by the Home Minister that she would issue instructions in this regard for the smooth conduct of festivals.
Apart from law and order, the new measures are likely to embolden all concerned to celebrate festivals as desired.
The members of the delegation said that any such measures would facilitate people from all walks of life and religions to restore confidence in the government.
