Bhadrak: The district administration has withdrawn the prohibitory orders under Section 144 of CrPC imposed in the district headquarters town and nearby areas to maintain law and order during Ram Navami celebrations. This was informed by Sub-Collector Narottam Behera.

The mobile internet services have also been restored. The internet providers were asked to stop their services for 48 hours starting from 6 PM on Saturday so that rumourmongers could not operate on social media platforms.

The district administration had taken the precautionary measures in the wake of communal riots in Bhadrak town during Ram Navami celebrations last year. The communal violence had erupted after derogatory remarks against Hindu gods were posted on social media.

As many as 50 platoons of security forces were deployed for the smooth conduct of Ram Navami festival in April this year.
