Hyderabad, March 22: Deputy Chief Minister Mallu Bhatti Vikramarka, Minister Ponnam Prabhakar, and Government Advisor Mohammed Ali Shabbir have jointly directed officials to ensure elaborate, seamless, and high-quality arrangements for the state-wide Dawat-E-Iftar and Eid-ul-Fitr celebrations. A high-level review meeting was held on Saturday at the Assembly Meeting Hall to assess and finalise preparations.
The meeting focused on the grand Dawat-E-Iftar to be hosted by Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy on March 25 at LB Stadium in Hyderabad, along with broader Ramzan arrangements. It saw the active participation of officials from all relevant departments. Deputy CM Bhatti Vikramarka, who chairs the High Power Committee, emphasised that the event is a prestigious and emotional occasion and should reflect the state government’s commitment to communal harmony and respect for traditions.
He made it clear that there would be no shortage of funds for the Iftar and Ramzan-related arrangements and that all departments must ensure top quality in food, hospitality, sanitation, and protocol. He instructed that no compromise should be made, and every precaution should be taken to maintain law and order, ensure uninterrupted electricity, maintain sanitation, and provide safe drinking water. He asked officers to act without hesitation and report any issues directly to himself or District In-charge Minister Ponnam Prabhakar.
Minister Ponnam Prabhakar, echoing the Deputy CM’s directions, appealed to officers to implement the plans with sincerity and attention to detail. He said that elaborate arrangements were necessary not just for the Iftar party but also for the remaining days of Ramzan and the upcoming Eid-ul-Fitr.

As both Bhatti Vikramarka and Ponnam Prabhakar had to leave for the Assembly proceedings midway, Government Advisor Mohammed Ali Shabbir continued the review meeting and issued further instructions. As Vice-Chairman of the High Power Committee, Shabbir Ali has been entrusted with the responsibility of conducting daily reviews and ensuring that arrangements are executed smoothly.
Shabbir Ali praised officials for maintaining high standards in essential services like drinking water supply, uninterrupted power, garbage clearance, and law and order over the last 20 days of Ramzan. He urged them to continue the same momentum and vigilance till Eid-ul-Fitr. He also stressed the need for special arrangements for Eid prayers at major mosques and Eidgahs across the state.
He thanked Deputy CM Bhatti Vikramarka for releasing Rs 8.15 crore for Iftar arrangements in 815 mosques and Rs 23 crore for the three-month salaries of Imams and Muezzins. He appealed to the Deputy CM to ensure that these salaries are paid regularly through the green channel system so that they are not delayed in the future.
Shabbir Ali also lauded the coordination between departments and emphasised the need for inter-departmental collaboration to avoid any lapses. He said the Iftar party hosted by the Chief Minister would be an emotional and dignified event, reflecting the spirit of inclusivity and tradition.
All departments concerned have been instructed to follow the guidelines issued by the High Power Committee. Regular monitoring, coordination, and timely execution will be carried out under the direct supervision of Vice-Chairman Shabbir Ali, ensuring that the Dawat-E-Iftar and Eid-ul-Fitr celebrations are conducted with the grandeur and sincerity they deserve.
