“Police would clamp down on persons selling and using fire crackers in the state because it creates fear and panic in the minds of the public, especially in a fragile security system in the state. The Police command is committed to secure an atmosphere of security during this season,” the statement signed by the Police Public Relations Officer (PRO), DSP Felicia Anslem reads in part.
