Statement — Members of two local clubs occasionally fight with each other on the main road and block traffic.\nCourses of Action:\nI. Deploy police personnel round the clock on the main road.\nII.

Difficulty: Medium

Correct Answer: Only II follows

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
Public disorder that blocks traffic warrants targeted law-and-order action. Responses should be proportionate and focus on offenders rather than imposing excessive, continuous policing or dismantling private associations without due process.


Given Data / Assumptions:

  • I: 24×7 deployment on the road.
  • II: Identify and prosecute offenders.
  • III: Disband club managements.


Concept / Approach:
Action II directly addresses culpable individuals and deters recurrence through legal consequences. I is resource-intensive and disproportionate for “occasional” clashes; targeted patrolling at peak times may suffice but round-the-clock is unnecessary. III violates associative rights and lacks due process; the clubs as entities are not inherently criminal.


Step-by-Step Solution:
1) Use CCTV/witness accounts to identify offenders.2) File cases for rioting/public nuisance; impose penalties/bonds.3) Warn club managements to enforce codes; escalate only if non-compliant.


Verification / Alternative check:
Standard policing emphasizes offender accountability over blanket continuous deployment.


Why Other Options Are Wrong:
I: Overbroad. III: punitive without due process. Combined options including I/III are excessive.


Common Pitfalls:
Over-securitizing routine civic disputes.


Final Answer:
Only II follows.
