Three thousand soldiers took care of security from road to streets

If a person of any religious sect spreads rumors, inform your police station. Internet media like WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter, etc. are being monitored. So be careful, a small mistake will put you in trouble. Additional Police Commissioner Law and Order said that everything is normal. As a precautionary measure, we are holding meetings and foot marches, so that a message can be given to the people.
