CP alerts PIs against hate speeches

Nagpur: City police chief Amitesh Kumar on Thursday broadcast a message on the wireless for all the police station in-charges to remain alert against hate speeches, instigators and rumour mongers trying to vitiate the communal harmony in the backdrop of the riots elsewhere in the state including Amravati.
Kumar, whose address to the police station and other unit in-charges started at 8pm, continued his strict instructions for around 40 minutes on the wireless urging senior officers to ensure sensitive issues were tackled at the earliest. He has also asked the officers in the field to enforce Section 144 of CrPC invoked by him in the backdrop of the riots.
The CP had also asked senior inspectors to keep their intelligence machineries on toes, communicate with the religious preachers and keep a vigil on the groups known for their rightist views.
Apart from the measures against communal tension, the top cop instructed the senior inspectors to keep a tab on the shops and establishments ensuring they were shut by 11pm. He exhorted the officers to keep the situation within their jurisdictions under control.
Kumar has also asked the officers to conduct thorough checking at nakabandi points and keep a tab on the criminals, especially the ones having records of murder against them in the past.
