Earlier, Section 144 was imposed in Nuh and police presence had been stepped up.
The Haryana government also ordered the suspension of mobile Internet and bulk SMS services in the district for two days to prevent “the spread of misinformation and rumours”.
Sources in district administration said the Friday namaz would not be allowed in the open.

The Haryana police had arrested Mamman Khan in connection with the communal clashes during a ‘shobha yatra’ in Nuh district on July 31. The MLA, representing the Ferozepur Jhirka segment, who was earlier rounded up, was arrested after preliminary questioning.
The MLA had failed to appear before the Nuh police twice in the last fortnight despite a notice being sent to him, asking to join the investigation.
