A judicial investigation has been ordered into this entire matter. Strict surveillance by the police and administration continues in the area. Following the government’s instructions, efforts are being made to arrest the culprits and punish them severely. The sambhal violence has once again raised questions about public properties and social harmony. The government and administration have given a message of strict measures against miscreants.
