Curfew remained in force in the northern Odisha town of Balasore for the second day on Wednesday following a clash between two groups over animal slaughter in which 10 people were injured, an official said.
The administration will review the situation on Wednesday night and decide whether to further continue curfew, the official said.
Commercial establishments along with private and government-run institutions remained shut while all the entry points to Balasore town are sealed, he said.
The state government has also suspended internet services in the town till 10 am of June 20 to check the spread of rumour, a Home department official said.
“The situation is critical and miscreants are circulating false and inflammatory messages through social media to disturb the public order in Balasore municipality area,” the notification issued by the home department said on Tuesday.
