Special security measures are also being taken for the security of prominent leaders and religious scholars in the district. Meanwhile female police officials have been deployed at shopping centres, parks and public places to monitor the security situation. The DCO appealed to the citizens to remain watchful and to report suspicious persons or activities to the police.
