The intelligence agencies in Haryana are implementing a three-pronged strategy in response to the communal violence that has spread from Nuh district to Gurugram, resulting in three fatalities.
According to state intelligence sources, the strategy includes increasing police presence, preventing further incidents, and identifying those involved in the riots.

Two home guards lost their lives, and several policemen, along with 15 others, sustained injuries.
Following the news of the violence in Nuh, mobs in Sohna also engaged in destructive acts, setting fire to four vehicles and a shop.
In Gurugram, a 26-year-old man from Bihar died as a result of the violence.
Although the situation in Nuh and Sohna remains tense, there have been no reports of fresh violence as of Tuesday (1 August).
According to an official, the current situation is peaceful and under control. The Centre has been requested for 20 companies of security forces.
At around 9:30am on Tuesday, central forces arrived at the location and conducted a flag march.
As of now, approximately 45 individuals have been detained.
