Security arrangements have been beefed up in the Raxaul sub-division of Motihari district ahead of the Muharram festival. To ensure the festival concludes peacefully and harmoniously, local police and the Sashastra Seema Bal (SSB) conducted a joint flag march. The march covered various sensitive areas and traditional Muharram procession routes within Raxaul town. The primary objective was to deter anti-social elements and instill confidence among the general public regarding their safety.

The flag march was led by police officials from the Raxaul circle and the SSB commandant. During the march, they appealed to local residents to maintain peace and report any untoward incidents to the police immediately. The administration emphasized that strict action would be taken against those spreading rumors or misleading information during Muharram. Social media is also under close surveillance to prevent the dissemination of provocative posts or content.

Additional police forces have been deployed along Muharram procession routes, and CCTV cameras have been installed at sensitive locations. Plainclothes police personnel will also be monitoring the situation. Meetings have been held with peace committee members to seek their cooperation. The administration urged everyone to disregard rumors and cooperate for a peaceful celebration. Given Raxaul's proximity to the India-Nepal border, security agencies are exercising extra vigilance to thwart any attempts to create unrest from across the border.
