From noting the number of vehicles to videography would be done. The meeting will be monitored by drones. Anything that spreads violence, action would be taken strictly against them.

It is worth mentioning here that during the by-election on the Deoli-Uniyara seat on November 13, the villagers in Samarwata boycotted the voting over various demands. After this, the independent candidate Naresh Meena, who reached there, slapped the SDM after an argument. After the incident, demonstrations started demanding the arrest of Naresh Meena. The next day, Naresh Meena was arrested by heavy police force. Naresh Meena, who was brought before the court, was dispatched to jail. His supporters here are demanding his release.
