Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh, is on high alert ahead of Friday prayers after tensions rose over the controversial ‘I Love Muhammad’ poster. Last week, clashes erupted when over 2,000 protesters confronted police outside a mosque, prompting the cancellation of related demonstrations. Authorities have suspended internet services in four districts until October 4 to prevent misinformation and maintain public order. Security forces, including the PAC and RAF, have been deployed, with drones monitoring key areas. The city is divided into super and special zones for effective control. Similar precautions are in place in Shahjahanpur, Pilibhit, and Budaun.
