Section 144 Cr.PC will continue to remain in effect in areas identified as “vulnerable” in Kohima.
DGP LL Doungel, on Tuesday, stated that the deployment of security personnel will not be scaled down in the Chief Minister’s complex, Minister’s Hill, Raj Bhavan, DC complex, Secretariat and Assembly areas. However, security has been relaxed in the PHQ junction.
As per the DGP, the security personnel also got some “respite” today after days of heightened vigil, partly on account of the multiple coordination meetings going on in Kohima. He though stated that there will be “no let up in the vigil” in the days to come while hoping things will not go out of control.
