Here are the highlights:- We will review what measures need to be taken during festivals.
- If more arrangements are needed, we will make sure they are met
- We have instituted a probe and will know what exactly happened and what led to it
- We have the moral code of conduct that is in force, so before any govt action, we have to take permission of the Election Commission
- Parties should not politicise such issues
- Our focus should be on helping those affected, the injured
