Zafarul-Islam Khan, chairman of the commission, said, 바카라I want the Lieutenant Governor of Delhi Anil Baijal to impose curfew as soon as possible.바카라
He also asked the DCP (North-East) to file an action taken report and reply on a number of issues including the ultimatum issued by BJP leader Kapil Mishra to police to remove anti-CAA protesters blocking roads in Northeast Delhi within three days.
Khan바카라s letter to LG said that as the constitutional head of Delhi Administration, he should order Delhi Police to rush more forces to the areas and arrest the rioters.
Outlook spoke to local residents and officer-bearers of resident welfare associations who said that police was completely ill-equipped to face the armed mob.
바카라Anti-social elements are carrying pistols, guns, swords and all sorts of things. Local police don바카라t seem to be able to control these elements. If curfew will not be imposed immediately, the situation will soon spiral out of control,바카라 Juned Khan, a resident of Seelampur, said.
바카라For past two days I am visiting the neighbouring areas and I have seen police being completely helpless and surrendering to the mob,바카라 Juned said, adding that a violent crowd tried to enter the Seelampur area around 4 pm today but failed due to resistance from the local residents.
Another resident, Liyaqat, from violent바카라hit Mustafabad area said that he was followed by a mob Monday afternoon when he ran for his life.
바카라Police is a mute spectator. They are easily outnumbered by goons. We need 500 plus para-military forces in each area to maintain calm,바카라 Liyaqat said.
Owais Sultan, an activist present in the violence-hit areas, said, 바카라Flag march has been carried out but it doesn바카라t look effective. I plead to the government to impose curfew and arrest the miscreants.바카라
