Appeal to maintain peace:
To maintain peace in the society, the co-operation of people from all the communities is needed. Today’s youngsters have involved themselves in anti-social activities which is hampering the development of the district.
As the youths are getting addicted to cigarette, alcohol and drugs, they are wasting their precious time and spoiling their life. In addition, as the rumours are spread over the social sites, the peace in the district gets disrupted. Hence, each and every body must join hands to maintain peace and co-operate with the police to discharge their duties appropriately, said the IGP.
