Hyderabad, December 31: Security was beefed up at the Secretariat as a precautionary measure to check any type of violence by the Telangana activists.
As Justice B N Srikrishna Committee submitted its report to the Centre on Thursday, fool-proof security arrangements were made at the Secretariat to successfully tackle any eventuality.
A large number of Boarder Security Force (BSF) personnel were deployed at the Secretariat. The BSF men carrying sophisticated arms like AK 47s and SLR rifles kept an eagle eye on the surrounding areas of the Secretariat.
Firstly, it was decided to deploy Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) personnel at the Secretariat. But keeping in mind the importance of the place, which was hosting the offices of the Chief Minister and ministers, the police officials had decided deploy BSF personnel for efficient handling at the Secretariat.
As earlier, the Special Protection Force would look after inside security and entrance checking of the Secretariat.
