He was accompanied by Director General of Police B S Sandhu.

"The word 'Premi' is associated with names of Dera followers and they perform social service. It is hoped that Dera followers will present a good example with the same spirit and help in maintaining peace and brotherhood in the state," he said.

Both the police and civil administration are fully alert and sensitive spots have been identified where regular checking is being done by police teams, said the home secretary.

The police can make preventive arrests if any anti-social elements tries to disturb the law-and-order situation, he said.

"We would not let anyone disturb the peace. If anybody tries to disturb the peace, he would be punished," he said.

Referring to Centre's assistance, Niwas said 35 companies of paramilitary forces had already reached the state.

We have requested the Centre to provide additional forces and it is hoped that the state will soon get it. Apart from this, leave of the state police personnel has been cancelled," he said.

The police would keep vigil on anti-social elements through drone cameras and surveillance of the entire area would be conducted, he said.

Videography would also be carried out in sensitive areas to prevent any untoward incident.

Niwas said all officers have been asked to constitute peace committees in the districts and take assistance of influential people.

Apart from this, revenue and other officials have also been asked to maintain coordination with Dera followers in villages. Contact is being established with Dera followers and efforts are being made to maintain peace, he said.

He said the inter state borders have been sealed and anti-social elements were being monitored through check-posts.

"We are also keeping a watch on inter-district movements to ensure that anti-social elements do not succeeed in disturbing peace and law and order. Internet services could also be disrupted, if required," he said.

Meanwhile, Sandhu said the law and order situation in Haryana would be maintained before and after the court's judgment in the case.

The Haryana police are fully prepared to deal with any kind of situation, he said.
