Curfew lifted in Bokaro as situation eases out

The curfew, which was imposed in four police station areas in Bokaro on April 15, was today lifted as situation limped back to normalcy.
"Curfew was lifted at 5 pm," Deputy Commissioner R M Patre told reporters here.
A peace committee meeting was held in the morning and a peace march was taken out by people, including political leaders, after the curfew was revoked, a senior police officer said.
Twenty-five people had been arrested following the April 15 violence during Ram Navami procession at Shivandih that led to the imposition of curfew in areas under Balidih, Maraphari, Sector-12 area and Bokaro Steel City police stations.
