Home Minister P Chidambaram on Friday assured that he would consider any specific request for providing security to ‘Jan Chetna Yatra' of senior BJP leader L K Advani.

"Providing security along the route that L K Advani takes is the responsibility of the state government. But if there is any specific request, we will certainly look into it," he said at a press conference here.

Chidambaram was responding to a question on what steps the central government would take to provide security during the '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.

Advani's 'yatra' will start from Bihar on October 11.
