“Providing security along the route that Advani takes (during the yatra) is the responsibility of the state government. But if there is any specific request, we will certainly look into it,” Chidambaram told a press conference here.

He was asked if the central government considered providing security to Advani’s yatra.

“Well, I do not know the route the yatra is going to take and I cannot recollect (receiving) any letter requesting to provide security,” he said.
