Such areas will now be notified by the state government based on the recommendations of a newly constituted Monitoring and Advisory Committee. According to the notification, the committee will assess whether an area has witnessed prolonged communal disturbances or is likely to face communal tension that could lead to the displacement of residents in the future.
