Since things are under control and no incidents of violence reported in the last 48 hours, I would like to thank all of you (people of Sambalpur town). Our efforts are on to bring normalcy back more quickly. We are discussing on it.” 

“I have been attending several rounds of meetings with the DGP, senior police officers and district administrative officers since morning.  There will be such meetings tomorrow as well,” he said. 

“If we live in a disciplined manner, the situation will become normal like as it was earlier. I would like to request you all that you should maintain the brotherhood and coordination,” he added.
