The order stood effective from Saturday night. Those who have moved on leave have also been called back on duty.
The cops have been directed to maintain extra vigil on the crowded places. Armed policemen have been deployed at these places.

The cancellation of leaves has disappointed many policemen who had planned the celebration in advance.
