Meanwhile, other locals say that the state government has also played a major role to maintain peace and harmony in the state.
"Compared to the last three days, at present, we are in far better condition. The state government has also played a major role to maintain our peace and harmony beside we the common people of the state are also trying to maintain our unity. Today in the market I find a large number of people and they seem to be happy, a local resident Dipak Kumar Sinha said.
