Rajanish Seth said further,

1. Do not take the law into your hands, or else you will have to face the consequences. 87 squads and more than 30 thousand Home guards are being sent on duty.

2. The leave for Police is also canceled. Employees and officers are on the streets. (The Police and the Administration should introspect whether such a situation would have occurred had the Supreme Court order been promptly implemented and illegal loudspeakers removed ? The Administration also should tell what action would be taken against those responsible for creating such a situation. – Editor)
