“The Government will not tolerate acts of violence. We are taking all necessary steps to restore peace and stability,” the Governor said.
The curfew takes effect immediately and will remain in place until further notice. Residents are advised to comply fully, remain indoors, and cooperate with security personnel working to maintain peace.
