Police officials have been advised to beef up security and make appropriate arrangements to prevent any untoward incident, including the issue of prohibitory orders, if necessary. A Bharat Bandh on April 2 by Dalit groups against the alleged dilution of the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act by a Supreme Court order had led to violence and arson in many parts of Madhya Pradesh.
