Drone cameras and CCTV were deployed for surveillance, while motorcycle patrolling and intensified vigil in vulnerable zones have been initiated.

DC Sameera S assured that adequate arrangements are in place and urged citizens not to fall prey to rumours or share unverified social media content.

SP Rameshan said flag marches have been held across all police stations since July 4, including a joint exercise with Bihar police at the Hariharganj border.

Control room numbers and a helpline have been issued for the public to report suspicious activity or misleading content. The administration has appealed to Akhara committees and social groups to cooperate in maintaining peace and harmony.
