Go all-out to curb mischief & violence: Mamata to officers

Sources said the Chief Minister took a stock of the situation and directed senior officers to take necessary steps so that no procession with arms takes place in near future. Directions have also been given to intensify vigil in bordering areas as mainly outsiders were behind the unrest at Raniganj and Asansol.

She also gave directions to increase police patrolling in the sensitive areas so that the situation remains under control, sources said adding that the police have also been instructed to maintain proper vigil to avoid any untoward incident during Hanuman Jayanti on Saturday.

With the situation remaining tense at Raniganj and Asansol in Burdwan South for the past two days since the trouble broke out during Ram Navami procession, the Chief Minister has directed the officials not to allow any rally or procession that is organised without having any kind of permission.
