Even as para-teachers plan to stage a protest in support of their demands during the Statehood Day celebrations at Morhabadi ground on Thursday, the district administration stated that elaborate security arrangement would be made to prevent any disruption during the celebration.

Chief Secretary Sudhir Tripathi, Ranchi deputy commissioner Rai Mahimapat Ray, SSP Anish Gupta and other officials visited the venue and reviewed the arrangement on Wednesday evening.

The administration would deploy around 1000 police personnel along with Rapid Action Force in and around the venue to ensure smooth and peaceful conduct of the celebrations.

He added the entire venue has been divided into three zones with each area under the charge of senior officer.

 The district police would also conduct patrolling around the venue as a preventive measure.

It may be noted here that district administration has taken a serious view of the protest threat and issued a warning that disciplinary action could be taken against protestors if needed.

Officials had said that those employed in government services would be dismissed from job the very next day.The district administration also issued an order regulating the movement of traffic.
