Do not post VIDEOS of sacrifice on social media The Waqf Board has also issued guidelines regarding sacrifice. The directive states that sacrifice should only be performed at designated places. Also, avoid making photos and videos of sacrifice and making them viral on social media. The board said that such videos can create unnecessary controversy and tension in society.

Water supply has been disrupted for the past two days in many places including Tila Jamalpura, Nariyalkheda, Karond and DIG Bungalow area.

Police will also keep an eye on social media. Action will be taken as per rules for sharing objectionable posts or inflammatory content against any community.
