Several shops and shanties were set on fire in Gurugram's sector 70 on Tuesday night. Authorities imposed prohibitory orders across the district, including a ban on the sale of loose petrol or diesel.
At least six people have died including two home guards who were shot dead after after a clash broke out on Monday.
The Gurugram police urged citizens not to believe rumours, and not give credence to reports on social media. "Messages being circulated on social media about schools, colleges, work stations being closed today are false. All traffic is running as usual, there are no restrictions," says Varun Kumar Dahiya, Assistant Commissioner of Police - Gurgaon.
Meanwhile, Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar called the incident "unfortunate" and said that clashes broke out at several places and that a big conspiracy seems behind the violence.
The security has been strengthened in the adjoining districts of Nuh - Faridabad, Palwal, and Gurugram - in light of the violence.
