The district police chief asked the people to execute social boycott of those involved in illegal business and practice of narcotics selling, gambling and other social evils. He said that full support by area people would help police to bring hardened criminals, drug traffickers, and anti state elements into clutches of law.
“The journalists should motivate religious scholars, prayers leaders, teachers, elders and people from other segments to play their role in ensuring sustainable peace and harmony in the district”, he added.
