The command urged parents and guardians not to allow their children to be involved in such acts.
“We are calling on parents and guardians to closely monitor their children and prevent them from taking part in such acts, as they could easily be influenced by unscrupulous elements to threaten the relative peace being enjoyed in the state,” the statement read.
