"Senior officers have been deployed in Nuh and the police have been directed to strictly deal with anybody violating orders of the administration. A search operation is being conducted to arrest the absconding people," he said.

To maintain law and order in Nuh, 21 duty magistrates have been appointed area-wise by the district administration. "There are 31 companies of police force including 1,900 police personnel on the field, patrolling the key locations throughout the day. 8 different teams of the Nuh police are conducting raids to nab the suspects.
