Union Home Minister Amit Shah visit of Sasaram in Bihar’s Rohtas district has been referred to as off due to imposition of Section 144 following the communal violence.
However, Mr. Shah’s visit to Nawada district stands as it’s tomorrow, says BJP state president Samrat Choudhary.
The Home Minister blamed Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar for deteriorating legislation and order within the state.
Prohibitory orders have been clamped on Sasaram and Bihar Sharif cities, the headquarters of Rohtas and Nalanda districts respectively, following communal tensions that erupted throughout the Ram Navami festivities on Friday. District administration imposed Section 144 within the space.
Heavy deployment of forces is in place and senior officers like Deputy Inspector General of Police Naveen Chandra Jha, District Magistrate Dharmendra Kumar and Superintendent of Police Vineet Kumar have been patrolling the affected localities, issuing appeals for peace.
