Curfew rules are duly followed across the city. However, students who need to take exams, are being allowed, he added.

Meanwhile, the Commissionerate Court remained open till midnight on Wednesday and granted bail to 60 people.

A meeting of two communities was called on Wednesday during which both the communities agreed to maintain peace.

In the meeting, BJP MLA Suryakanta Vyas demanded release of innocent people and arrest of the accused. She boycotted the meeting and warned of 'dharna' and fasting.

However, after the administration assured to release innocent people, the BJP cancelled the 'dharna' and fasting programme which was to start from Thursday.

An issue over hoisting a flag had snowballed into violent clashes.
