While the schools and colleges reopened in Gurugram, the educational institutions remain closed in Sohna till further orders, as per the officials.

Deputy Commissioner Gurugram Nishant Kumar Yadav said, "The situation normalized in Sohna and in Gurugram, and on the demand of the Peace Committee, the district administration has permitted the opening of the market in Sohna.

"The administration formed a committee comprising 20 members each from the two communities. The committee will help in enforcing peace and harmony. The members of the committee will update Sohna's situation everyday with district administration."

However, Internet services in the Sohna area are still suspended till further orders.
