Vadodara/ New Delhi:The army marched through Vadodara on Thursday as officials said the situation was under control.
Curfew will be relaxed for children and women later in the day, said officials.
The army has put nine units comprising a thousand personnel in the city.
Soldiers first did a flag march on Wednesday night after a mob attacked a police station and burnt a bakery.
Two columns marched City Police Station area, Nawapura, Wadi, Raopura, Karelibagh and Panigate, Police Commissioner Deepak Swarup said.
Six persons have died and over 60 injured in violence that began after civic authorities demolished a dargah on Monday.
Earlier on on Wednesday, Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi addressed the media in Vadodara. He announced the curfew will continue all through the day.
Reacting to the Centre's order to conduct a detailed inquiry into how the situation in Vadodara went out of control, Modi on Wednesday said that strict action will be taken against the rioters. "The law will not spare the rioters," he said.
Modi said that the matter is in the Gujarat High Court and it is to speak soon.
He appealed to people in the city to maintain peace and harmony. "Some people with vested interests are unhappy with the manner in which the state was progressing and maintaining peace," Modi said.
Modi also said that he had spoken to those injured in the incident and that they are happy with the treatment they are receiving.
The Chief Minister deployed army in the city and said that it would carry out flag marches. Later, Home Secretary V K Duggal said that the army would take action in case of trouble.
The Central Government on Wednesday asked the Gujarat government to conduct a detailed inquiry on how the situation in Vadodara went out of control after the demolition of a dargah on Monday.
"I don't think that these kind of situations can remain uncontrolled. The state government has to do it and we will see that it is done," Union Home Minister Shivraj Patil said.
Stepping up pressure on Modi, the Centre also asked the state authorities to ascertain whether the district administration acted appropriately to tackle the escalating violence.
"The situation can be controlled. The state government is requested to control it. We will also see to it that it is controlled. If we don't do it then we will be at fault," Patil said.
The Home Minister said the Centre will offer all assistance to the state government in its efforts to bring the volatile situation under control. Patil said paramilitary forces had already been dispatched.
Patil also cautioned against presenting the situation in an exaggerated form. "We have to strike a balance. As we conducted ourselves in the last few days time when the incident happened - very wisely and very correctly, with determination and confidence in ourselves and with the desire to ensure that the situation does not go out of hand," he said, adding, "It is not something that should be a scare but it is also not something that we should take lightly."
Duggal said Centre was constantly reviewing the situation and was in touch with the state administration.
"It started as a law and order problem, but has now turned into a communal one. Gujarat Chief Secretary has been asked probe the burning of the man," Duggal said.
Duggal said a separate probe into the incident could also be initiated at Modi's behest, though the current emphasis was on restoring peace.
Asked whether the Army will be deployed, he said Government was in touch with the state authorities and will act "according to what the situation is".
