LUCKNOW: A high alert has been sounded in Uttar Pradesh in wake of the Udaipur killing. The government has also banned any protest or procession against the incident in the state.
No protest or procession, whether religious or political, can be taken out without the permission of the local police station, said ADG, law and order, Prashant Kumar.
DGP DS Chauhan said security has been stepped up across the state and action would be taken against anyone making provocative remarks.
