Laloo said that the appeal was issued especially due to the ongoing protests against the CAA in the city and other parts of the North East, which was marred by violence. “Even though no one is forbidden from expressing their views which is peaceful in nature, it should not bring any incident which may create fear psychosis in the minds of people,” she added.
Therefore, the DC asked people to be cautious and make sure that no incident of damaging public or private properties, which may affect peace, takes place, especially at a time where people are preparing for Christmas celebrations.
