During the ongoing Durga Puja celebrations in Bihar, the Motihari Police maintained a strict vigil against merrymakers and mischievous elements trying to disrupt public order. In a major crackdown, law enforcement personnel arrested 13 individuals from a Durga Puja fair for creating a public nuisance while heavily intoxicated.
