The policemen were equally seen pushing back the people, hitting them with batons as they tried to raise the fallen demarcation again.
Earlier, the members were seen queuing in an orderly manner as they entered the venue.

The security operatives were placed at strategic locations around Eagles Square.

Also, stop and search was for those who attempted to pass through the road that linked the venue while vehicular movements were restricted and several vehicles were also turned back by security operatives.
