Social media under scanner in Jamshedpur ahead of Eid

Jamshedpur In anticipation of the upcoming Eid celebrations, the police have put social media under increased surveillance. The move comes as part of efforts to ensure public safety and prevent the spread of false or inflammatory information that could incite violence or cause unrest during the festive period.

Police and other law enforcement agencies have been monitoring social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, looking for any content that could pose a threat to public order or security. They are particularly vigilant about messages that incite hatred or communal tension, as well as those that spread rumours or misinformation.

The authorities have also issued warnings to the public, advising them to exercise caution when using social media and to report any suspicious or potentially harmful content to the authorities. They have urged people to use social media responsibly and refrain from sharing messages that could cause panic or anxiety.

In addition to monitoring social media, police have also stepped up their presence in public areas such as markets and parks, to deter any potential troublemakers and ensure public safety during the Eid celebrations. Despite the increased security measures, officials have emphasized that the purpose of the surveillance is not to infringe on people’s freedom of expression or privacy, but rather to safeguard public order and ensure a peaceful and harmonious Eid for all.
