I hope that with the support of the people of the state, we will achieve peace at the earliest."He said that it is not easy to say that the situation will improve suddenly but the incidents of violence are reducing in the state."Most people have some feelings because someone has lost their near and dear ones. Somebody has lost their property. So, those kinds of emotions are there. So, we can't immediately say that everything will be alright. But you have seen that with the efforts of the government, and by involving the people, it is reducing," Singh further said.The Chief Minister further assured that action will be taken against the culprits of violence."Nine people were killed, and incidents of arson were reported.
