Beware of rumours on festivals

The CM directed the officials to beware of rumours about festivals and asked administrative officers to communicate with religious leaders and intellectuals.

Respect religious traditions, but don’t tolerate anarchy, he said during the meeting.

Before allowing any event, an affidavit should be taken from the organiser regarding ensuring peace and harmony, he said.

Keep an eye on any attempts by mischievous elements to provoke members of other communities unnecessarily during Holi, he said, adding that colour should not be thrown at religious places and shrines.

A small rumour can spoil the atmosphere and officials need to take prompt action. The police administration must remain vigilant, he said.

There shouldn’t be any production or distribution of illegal liquor. All the districts will have to take special care regarding this, he added.
