He informed that adequate police personnel remain stationed in sensitive zones to maintain peace and prevent any flare-ups. “There were no disturbances reported during the curfew period, and the city has remained peaceful,” Singh added.

Singh also appealed to residents to maintain peace, unity, and brotherhood, stressing the need for cooperation to ensure lasting harmony in the city.
The curfew had been imposed on Sunday night across 13 police station areas, including Darghabazar, Mangalabagh, and Cantonment, after violent clashes broke out during a Durga idol immersion procession.
