Hours after the raids on PFI and SDPI offices and residences of their members, the State police were asked to step up security measures to monitor the law and order situation.
Alok Kumar, Additional Director-General of Police (Law and Order), who supervised the raids and coordinated with the NIA teams, directed the jurisdictional police to step up vigil and increase patrolling in sensitive areas from 6 p.m. on Thursday to 6 a.m. of Friday.
The social media monitoring cells have been directed to keep an eye on the inflammatory and derogatory posts and take necessary action. “Patrolling has to be intensified at sensitive places at the jurisdictional level and picketing and check posts have to be put up to carry out random checks,” he said.
