East Singhbhum SSP Dr Ehtesham Waquarib and City SP Lalit Meena recently inspected major river ghats and issued strict instructions to manage crowds and boost security.
On Saturday, SSP Dr Waquarib chaired a video review meeting and directed all Deputy Superintendents and Station House Officers to maintain strict law and order.
