On the other hand, Section 144 of CrPC continues to prevail in Rourkela as the prohibitory orders have been kept in force between Bisra Chhak and Ambedkar Chhak in the city.

Police have so far arrested 13 persons for their alleged involvement in group clash during idol immersion in the city on September 12. As many as 20 platoons of police force and CRPF have been deployed in the city to avoid any untoward incident.
