PTI, LUCKNOW: Security has been beefed up in Uttar Pradesh in view of Ambedkar Jayanti tomorrow to prevent any possible attempt at inciting violence, with political parties drawing up separate plans for the occasion.
Districts magistrates and superintendents of police have been asked to ensure peace and check any violence in their respective areas of jurisdiction, an official spokesperson said here today.
District authorities have been directed by the home department to intensify patrolling to ensure that no loss of life and property takes place and clamp prohibitory orders wherever necessary, he said.
Seeking to take the wind out of opposition parties’ sails ahead of the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, the BJP is planning to hold grand events to mark the birth anniversary of Dalit icon BR Ambedkar across the state.
