Daltonganj, Jan 22: Palamu police nipped in the bud mischief quotient having a perceptible tinge of communalism.

The first was an 11-month-old picture that was made viral last night showing communal turbulence in Palamu.

The police immediately rubbished it reminding people that this picture made viral is old and irrelevant. People believed it. The picture made viral died its own death.

The timing and intent behind making this old picture viral last night had evil potent but the police took the wind of it.

SDPO Sadar Surjit Kumar said the element behind it would face the music.

SDPO Surjit Kumar said police are vigilant and alert. It is determined to maintain public tranquillity and harmony.

IG of police, Palamu zone, R K Lakra said, “I have directed the SDPOs to have an interaction with the media persons in the police station over a cup of tea as a part of bond with the people.”

A handful of journalists took part in the interactive session with the SDPO Surjit Kumar today in the town police station where the inspector -cum-officer in-charge of the town police station Abhay Kumar Sinha offered tea and biscuits.

After the interactive session, the police contingent led by SDPO Surjit Kumar, OC town Abhay Kumar Sinha etc rolled down on nine bikes for a detour to the town.

Police bandobast is not obstructive but it is optical to the utmost. There is no street here where a common man’s eyes do not meet cops.

Bhandaras have been arranged by the devout Hindus. Life is pretty smooth and festive here.
