On Saturday, after looking at the violent protest that took place in Amravati, a city in Maharashtra, the police imposed prohibitory orders under Section 144 of CrPC and also suspended internet services in the city for three days. Amravati town was rocked by violence during a Bharatiya Janata Party-sponsored 'bandh' (shutdown), officials said here. Earlier on Saturday morning, the BJP-led shutdown saw several incidents of violence, stone-pelting which damaged many vehicles, minor incidents of arson forcing the police to resort to mild caning. I spoke to Devendra Fadnavis, Amravati MP, to help maintain social harmony and peace. We are focusing on how to keep the situation under control and maintain peace," Patil said.
