Government’s stern warning regarding the Bihar Bandh: Immediate arrests for violence and vandalism.

Amidst the heated atmosphere going on in the politics of Bihar, the administration has come on full alert mode regarding the Bihar Bandh called by various political parties and organizations. The state government and the police headquarters have issued a clear warning that in the name of the bandh, if anyone tries to take the law into their hands, damage public or private properties and spread violence, they will not be spared. Strict instructions have been given to the Superintendents of Police (SPs) of all the districts to immediately identify and arrest such miscreants. Security arrangements have been tightened across the state and constant vigil is being maintained by deploying additional police forces in sensitive areas.

Administration’s strict order: Right to peaceful demonstration, but anarchy not tolerated

The government has made it clear that in a democratic country everyone has the right to express their views peacefully and register their protest, but under the guise of this, disrupting normal life, vandalizing vehicles or endangering law and order will not be acceptable under any circumstances. Taking seriously the incidents of violent clashes during the recent protests in some districts, this time the intelligence system and police administration have been asked to remain fully prepared. Every suspicious activity is being closely monitored through drone cameras and CCTV footage so that the hooligans can be dealt with strictly.

Special arrangements to keep public life and traffic safe

In view of Bihar Bandh, strict security arrangements have been made in major cities, markets, railway stations and bus stands of the state, so that common citizens, travelers and businessmen do not face any inconvenience. The police administration is ensuring that traffic is not disrupted and people going to schools, colleges and offices get a safe environment. Senior officials of the district administration are continuously visiting the field to take stock of the situation and are holding meetings with peace committees and appealing to maintain harmony.

Appeal to the public for peace amid political turmoil

On one hand, political parties are taking to the streets regarding their respective issues, while on the other hand, maintaining the safety and peace of the general public remains the first priority of the administration. After this strict warning from the government and police, it will now be important to see what effect the bandh has on the ground. The administration has made it clear that there will be no delay in taking legal action against those who violate the law, due to which an atmosphere of fear can be clearly seen among the anarchist elements.
