During his visit, the DC interacted with shopkeepers and locals, assuring them that the administration is committed to ensuring uninterrupted availability of food grains, medicines, and daily-use commodities. He appealed to the people to maintain peace and harmony in the district.
Officials of the district administration said the overall situation has remained peaceful, and life is gradually limping back to normalcy. However, internet services continue to remain suspended, and schools are yet to reopen in the district.
