Read the passage given below and answer the questions that follows:
Administration did nothing to check riots
Shamli is one of the areas in western UP that bore the brunt of the riots last week. A large number of Valmikis living in the area have fled their homes. One of them said, ‘‘We have sent the women and children to our relatives living elsewhere.’’ Fearing retaliation, he is preparing to leave Shamli after sending his wife and children away. Tension was simmering for weeks, but the administration did nothing to defuse the tension. So, today there are flare-ups at the slightest provocation. The air is thick with vile rumours. And reaction to them tends to be instant. Both communities, for instance, alleged dozens of bodies were floating in a canal at Nangla Madour. Since September 3, Shamli, one of the UP's youngest districts, carved out of Muzaffarnagar in 2011, has downed shutters following communal violence.
