Mangaluru : To maintain peace and harmony in  Eid-ul-Fitr celebrations City police commissioner Vipul Kumar organised a all religion Peace meeting in his office on Wednesday June 13.

Addressing a audience he urged the people  to cooperate maintain peace. Some anti-social elements are trying to spoil the name of Mangaluru by spreading false rumours, he said.

Eid will be celebrated on June 15 or 16.  Mangaluru people are peace lovers, I know  people from different communities celebrate festivals together. The police department has made all the necessary arrangements to ensure the festival is celebrated in a peaceful manner, he added.

Spreading rumours is also an offence, if you receive any such information, kindly share it with the police. Anti-social elements have been using social media for spreading hate massages. But people should not pay attention such rumours, he urged.

There was a discussion held between the police commissioner and the public on this occasion.
