Hyderabad: City Police Commissioner C V Anand held a video conference with police officers on Friday to talk about security plans for the Sri Rama Navami Shobha Yatra, which will take place on Sunday.

The Commissioner told all officers and staff, including those in zonal control rooms and the Special Branch, to stay alert starting immediately. He also stressed the importance of watching out for pickpockets and chain-snatchers during the event.
