Aligarh (UP): Uneasy calm prevailed in localities under the Kotwali and the Delhi Gate police stations here on Monday, a day after incidents of arson and group clashes.
"No untoward incident has been reported from any place since Sunday evening," ADGP, Agra zone, Ajay Anand told PTI.
Some shops in the old city area opened Monday morning, although a majority kept shutters down.
The district authorities, who are maintaining a tight vigil, were seen persuading shop owners to open for business.
According to police sources, 350 people have been booked at Kotwali, Delhi Gate and Civil Lines police stations for Sunday's incidents.
The ADGP said Mohamad Tariq Munawwar (22), who received gunshot injuries on Sunday's violence, is now stable and has been shifted to the ICU at the Trauma Centre of the Jawahar Lal Nehru hospital after doctors performed emergency surgery on him.
"If necessary, we will shift him to AIIMS New Delhi. Currently, however, doctors are satisfied with his progress," Anand said, adding that the police were in the process of identifying the miscreants involved.
"At the same time, we are initiating confidence-building measures with the help of community leaders to help in restoring normalcy in all affected areas," he said.
District Magistrate Chandra Bhushan Singh warned that any attempt to spread rumours would be dealt with an iron hand and NSA would be invoked in such cases.
