Police security tightens in Madhya Pradesh

In view of the ongoing protests and a Bharat bandh call given by some social organisations, the Madhya Pradesh police have tightened security across the state. While schools remain shut in a few districts, petrol pumps are closed all over Madhya Pradesh. Anticipating a breakdown of law and order, Section 144 has been imposed in a few districts, including Satna, Bhindh, Gwalior and Shivpuri. While in Rajasthan, 10 districts have been put on high alert with a strict vigil being maintained in all the violence-hit areas.
