He also sought cooperation from all to ensure smooth celebration of Durga Puja.

Puja organizers were urged to contact the national emergency service 999 or the nearest police station if any suspicious activity is noticed. The Puja Udjapan Parishad leaders were also requested to ensure CCTV surveillance and deploy volunteers for round-the-clock security at each mandap. Besides, additional law enforcing agencies including plainclothes police, along with SWAT teams, Crime Response Teams (CRT) and Bomb Disposal Units, will remain on standby during the festival to avoid untoward incidents.
