''Overall situation in Nuh district is under control and peaceful. We hope it remains so and people maintain peace and do not fall prey to rumours that incite violence,'' said Nuh MLA and senior Congress leader Chaudhary Aftab Ahmed, adding that ''laxity of administration and not reading the situation properly led to escalation through social media handles''. A total of five people have died, including two home guards, who were shot dead after a clash broke out on Monday.
