Ahead of Ed, the Bokaro thermal police held a meeting on Saturday evening with representatives of the peace committee of Bokaro thermal, Kathara, Jarandih and Govindpur and members of the minority community in order to prevent any untoward incident during the Ed festival and holy month of Ramadan.
Circle Officer and Officer in-Charge of Bokaro thermal, Manoj Kumar and Umesh Kumar Thakur appealed members and DVC officials to be on alert, and provide adequate electricity and water supply, especially at the times of roza iftaari, sehri and Eid.
Bokaro Superintendent of Police P Murugan also instructed police to keep trouble mongers at bay. “The Thermal city has always had trouble-free Ramadan month and this tradition must continue. The law is same for every person irrespective of his religion. Anyone who tries to disturb communal harmony will be dealt with strictly,” he said.
